My brain knows how to tie a square knot, and my body knows how to tie a square knot.

But each of them can only do it if the other one doesn't interfere. As soon as they both start working on the problem, it's a granny knot every time.

@GeePawHill I recall a middle school art class exercise where we turned a portrait upside down and drew it as we saw it.

Some very odd proportions like giant cranium happened. Mine had done that but also the clasped hands in lap turned into a very tangled mess.

The teacher explained it as my brain jumped in and tried to think of them as hands and fingers instead of the exercise of just seeing the shapes and lines.
