We can call it a second-generation tool, then. One which uses those from the first generation in concert (no pun intended) to accomplish a task not possible by using any of them separately.
Which takes us to the martial-arts concept of eliminating volition. That is when the brain conceives and the desired result occurs without any concious awareness of the use of the decisions, tools and techniques that are incorporated in achieving that result. One doesn't will it to happen, one thinks it and it just happens. When what you hear inside your head just comes out of the horn with no concious process. This comes with mastery. Only a few gain it.
