Do the tagged areas of your brain ever surprise you with a plot, or a character motive/facet, that you didn't expect, or didn't previously understand about that character? Can your "main brain" have a truly spontaneous "discussion" with those "tagged" areas, then?
Well, of course. Because the areas of my brain that tag characters are usually operating on a more subconscious level than my "main (read: conscious)" brain. Those parts are taking those characters, breaking them down, analyzing them, considering them, building their internal logic and backstories from what canon has given me, and then presenting the final result to my conscious brain. The result can often surprise or startle me at first, because I haven't consciously thought about most of it as yet.
