Ok, that I very much agree with. I don't see it as a substitute though but the embodiment of. Rationality as a belief system and conceptual framework, naming form and function/state, especially abstract types, keeps you longer in the sphere of reason, so to speak.

I should've made that distinction.

But being rationally, to remain rational, to be rational at all times or at any moment, is something I don't care much about (and I try very hard not to)—rationally. Of course in times of psychosis my mind finds it extremely important to stay rational. I try to fight that urge very much. If it works, there is a new state to name, making me more rational.

Paradoxical, but I think and believe both to be very important.
