It's all confusing, to be sure, especially when I need to go to bed :-)I hear ya. My curse is ideas like this keep me up until I can find a solution that is at least somewhat plausible, only then can I put them on the back-burner and go back to what I should be doing. :-D
I've often found that if I immerse myself in a problem, then go to bed, I awake with the solution! It's similar to the way that people who cannot remember something "on command" find that it comes easily to them when they shift their conscious concentration elsewhere for a few minutes. It is evident that the brain has capabilities that are not simply tapped by "effort", but require a kind of "relaxation" to work. -michael NadaNet and AppleCrate II: parallel computing for Apple II computers!
