    1. You are intrigued by something.
    2. You have been intrigued and are now in a uncertified state.
    3. What is this state?

    I believe that this state is one of three mental phenomenon. Something that intrigues us because of it's beneficent effect either for knowledge, morality or beauty; such as it was entertaining, or enlightening or engaging.

    There is a mental state called engagement, enlightenment and entertainment. These are a trio.

    Thanks, any questions?

    What is it about something that "intrigues" one? In other words, in your estimation, how is one "intrigued"? :chin:

    It is not but it was one of the start points. I could have been more concise.

    I can only speak for myself.

    1. That water (puts out fires) = hydrogen (burns) + oxygen (causes things to burn) is intriguing.

    2. That humans are related to plants is intriguing.

    3. That twins have different personalities is intriguing.

    The pattern: Expecting x but discovering ~x is what intrigues me.

    That's the obvious version of intriguing; there are weaker forms.
