excerpt:
AN 8.63 four categories, vitakka, vicara, even dogs understand and use this.
It's not just oral tradition for humans, vitakka and vicara is a basic universal phenomena of how we hear, learn, process information and use it in everyday life.

Even dogs intuitively use and understand vitakka (thinking) and vicara (evaluation).
If you study the stories below, they're using the same paradigm as AN 8.63 three way samadhi with vitakka and vicara.
