The experience of gifted individuals with frustration due to interruptions during reasoning is not yet widely addressed directly in scientific literature. However, the issue touches precisely on the domains of cognitive flow, emotional self-regulation and hyperfocus - elements frequently documented in profiles of individuals with a significantly high intellectual quotient. Although there are no specific publications describing the so-called "pendency of interrupted reasoning", which I have called disruptive interference in cognitive continuity, the theoretical construction is robust enough to rely on the concepts of continuous cognition and sequential integrity of thought. These characteristics, present in subjects with intensely structured reasoning, reveal a low tolerance for logical breakdown - not as a weakness, but as a functional consequence of cognitive efficiency.

In order to explore this hypothesis empirically, we activated the Gifted Debate group, a metacognitive analysis and discussion initiative linked to CPAH - Centro de Pesquisa e Análises Heráclito, in collaboration with members of internationally recognized high IQ societies, such as Intertel, IIS Society, ePiq Society and ISI Society, as well as extensive participation by members of the Triple Nine Society. All of these organizations have strict admission criteria, requiring intelligence tests with scientific validity and supervised in-person application. Within this context, a preliminary survey was conducted with 50 selected members of the group - out of a total of more than 500 participants - about the occurrence and intensity of frustration with interrupted reasoning. The results indicated not only a significant prevalence of the experience, but also a notable persistence of the feeling of unfinished business, often lasting for days before thinking can be resumed and completed. It was also observed that the higher the IQ score, the greater this sense of pendency, which is linked to greater emotional intensity.
