Although computer files may be stored noncontiguously, they are still essentially long-ass strings of data
Data transfer and storage can be serial, but it still has to be amenable to becoming parallel to be used for anything. Don't microprocessors still have multi-bit registers?
"Being in the zone" is a phrase that describes doing something with an odd lack of doubt or turbulence... You can look at a painting and tell if the painter was in the zone... chinese water color paintings especially, because with that, the painter can't go back and fix mistakes. It comes, though, when there's been a lot of practice, so there's no struggle to master the medium... the inspiration just flows through.
Music people are different, though... when it comes to music theory. A friend was explaining to me what it actually means that Mozart could listen to a piece that someone else wrote just once and then play it backwards. I don't think my brain grew the part that can do anything with music theory.
