I can only extract my own interpreted meaning from what any one ever contemplates, (re: writes) so, I'll postulate on your previous ponderance in that fiction, does need some multiple forms of suspension, though what comes to mind are the primary two: suspension / enveloping dis-/belief is the first, for it requires thought and at times, provoked imagination; the second I have in mind is the suspensed flow / sense of the unfolding story, as it involves the reader and audience to work out preconceived notions, & allows converging, divergent, filler & "catching-up" for those who are invested, and in the end, when asked "how was it?", it's not an instantaneous response. I'd not say half, but a good chunk of whatever it is we call "art" involves individual interpretation into what makes it special.
