This week’s exercise was very unconstrained. My hypothesis for when really powerful things happen is when you learn to do constrained babble: “Here are 5 constraints: you must not destroy anything important as a side effect or going to the moon, your item weighs about 1kg, you must get there within 50 years,...”. I think there’s a skill of holding all the constraints in working memory and letting them guide your babble.
