Making New Explanations Through Connections

Creating new explanations involves forming connections between existing ideas rather than simply rearranging elements without meaning. While one could argue that everything is a mere manipulation of a finite set of components, the essential distinction lies in the effectiveness of these connections. Not every rearrangement results in a valid or novel explanation; only those that resonate and provide insight are worthwhile. Thus, although the potential number of connections is vast, the challenge is to identify which connections yield meaningful understanding.
