White space

Have you ever noticed how white space causes your mind to go blank, completely devoid of definable thought? It as if the mental mirroring we experience when reading occurs even when there's nothing to read; instead of reflecting text, we reflect the void.

Alternatively, we could call it a figurative version of snow blindness. Or is it a literal version? Does textual white space trigger the same or similar functions vast amounts snow trigger?
