We require questions to use references/citations to frame things in something from psychology or neuroscience. So, what have you read about these concepts? Where are the alternatives you propose coming from?

@BryanKrause I was reading The organized mind by Daniel J. Levitin where he talks about  mind wandering mode and its origin in the brain . And since we know the feeling/ emotion originates in amygdala my question was that which part is responsible for Diffused/open mode of thinking (IS it amygdala or prefrontal cortex)

Please add citations and quotes and such to your question rather than responding in a comment. Thanks! Especially about this "diffused mode", as this seems to be a very non-standard term.
