camel: How do you search through something in your brain you have not yet
seen/heard/learned?
To quote yourself: "Wouldn't it be better if we all worked together on
something that might
work instead of pointing out why it might not? :-)"
You search through clusters of info in your head that have a) not been
associated with the problem before, or - in case I get another v. literal
response from you - b) associated in a particular way with the problem, or
c) well ordered for the problem beforehand.
Why would you want a brain where almost nothing is as neat and well ordered
as in an algorithm? - because that gives you infinite flexibility to
reshuffle and reassociate info - and thence generativity. Low efficiency,
but high generativity.
P.S. Your brain just registered a new idea from my post , which you
dismissed. Now, if you want to be creative and constructive, you can go
back to that idea which is neither ordered nor digested in your brain, and
make something new of it. You can "rediscover" the idea. That's one form of
the brain's cognitive synergy which is not available to algos, but could be
available to more imaginatively constructed programs.

Try imagining a different universe with completely different laws of
nature. Good luck!

These searches are adventures – explorations – the opposite of what algos
do, which is really “checking” lists rather than true “searching” through
jungles of information.
