In your case, my prediction would be that your perception of the world includes many unknowns or points of confusion that you find to be resolved by writing fiction, and you believe writing to be satisfying many other important needs you have.
If it is not that, I believe it to be something very close to that.
I remember reading Stephen King’s book about writing fiction (On Writing: Memoirs of the Craft) and I remember him particularly talking about the overall themes of his books. In particular he seemed to confess that his books were only a few limited subjects he wanted to know more about:
If god exists why does he allow bad things to happen.
Where does this technology revolution is taking us.
The attraction of violence to good people.
So it’s quite possible he uses writing to minimize his error predictions about those particular subjects. What’s more, he also talks about that “shiny” thing to reach and what it means to him.
As for me, I clearly do the same, elucidating my thoughts be it on fiction or in plain-notes is completely satisfying the curiosity and at the same time illuminating what I thought to be obscure, although I am not entirely sure how it relates to other feedback loops.
