processing
Working through information
Processing is the act of handling, treating, or transforming something through a series of steps.
Food processing converts raw ingredients into packaged products.
Data processing organizes information for analysis.
When an application is processing, the system is working on it: Your request is still processing.
To say you're processing news or emotions means you're working through them mentally, absorbing their meaning.
