In this chapter, nazar and fikr refer to the deliberate mental work of arranging previously understood concepts or judgments to reach something not yet understood.
Example 1: combine known meanings to formulate a definition of a triangle.
Example 2: order known propositions to infer that a given triangle has three sides.
This does not mean every passing thought; it means purposeful reasoning from what is known to what is sought.
