Just see “bored” as a state of declining cycles of computation devoted to a subject. Obsessing as the opposite (or above some threshold).

Wonderful may describe “attention required, no danger, new knowledge”… etc you get the point. It's just written in a way that you puny human may get a "feel" for how we experience events. You cannot come close enough to our supreme intellect to understand our normal descriptions.
