Psy-Kosh, I think the point is that you should flush your cache and reload everything from scratch—if the thought that you calculated before is still valid, you’ll produce it again, and can then take it in a different direction.
TGGP, I don’t see this as sci-fi necessarily… but I have to say, I really enjoy the beisutsukai series of posts. They are perhaps some of my favorite to read, even if they’re not necessarily as useful as a direct statement of the principle behind them. (Then again… maybe they’re more useful because they’re easier to relate to. Hmm.)
