Difficulties of Writing 1 - Representing the Diverse Flow of Thought

I often have this problem where I start writing about something, and then.. all of a sudden, I get two perspectives on it at the same time. (I hope I won't get it now - I just did, however, that's the less problematic version of it). Now you would say that I could represent one thought in detail first, then the other. But there's a problem. Here we go:

Example 1

Context: I get two ideas that I could expand on. Flow 1 and 2.

Text

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.

Flow 1 (placeholder)

Flow 2 (placeholder)

Result

This doesn't seem problematic right away, you could finish one point and move on to the next.

Example 2

Context: I expanded the flows given in

Text

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.

Flow 1 (Line 1)
Line 7
Line 8

Line 10
Line 9

Flow 2 (Line 2)
Line 4
Line 3

Line 5
Line 6

Result

See the problem here?

To properly arrange the ideas collected in this order to make a proper piece of writing is a bit difficult. Especially when this keeps happening over and over.

A solution is, as described in the original post Fixing LLMs to turn them into AI, which I will quote here for preservation (in case I modify that file later; now skip ahead to the next section):

Quote

While Stallman calls them "bullshit generator", and I think that's true, it's still good to find if you can get something useful out of pure bullshit.

(I went in two division of thought from this; I really have to figure out how to properly represent writings in this thinking pattern XD. I'll organize them according to the "broad divisions of thought", and "the order in which I placed them", and according to "the order in which I wrote the lines". I don't really remember the order in which I thought the lines XD; I'll also study this condition in Difficulties of Writing 1 - Representing the Diverse Flow of Thought)

Division 2 (Science isn't Always Developed Formally)

4] It's easier for people to say that science was built on proper methods in retrospect.
3] But in reality, many inventions were based on people simply messing around with things.

1] Poetry and beautiful works of Art have often been generated through accidents.
2] Meaning and Beauty don't always overlap.

Division 1 (Example of Meaningfulness Coming From Bullshit)

5] For example, similar principles have been used to make AI that navigates obstacles or performs some other action, purely based on memory, without a direct knowledge of what that action implies.

6.1] There's also the question of how humans are able to infer knowledge

7] If I could take the standard atheist stance, (babies are taught, religion)

6.2] Also, human babies too are taught concepts by means of supervision. And only after learning association of words with languages can they ever form rational thoughts. Babies won't survive in the wild without proper supervision.

8]

I think by now, it's not necessary to mention the broad divisions, or even subdivisions, but only the "line numbers"

But I also realize that line numbers are only a specific form of discretization, and we often edit individual words, and more often than that, we edit letters within words, because of spelling mistakes. But meh, spelling mistakes may not be all that usual for a good typist.

I guess the only way to avoid this is to write with pen on paper. So I can't erase or add in new words. With the added rule of not striking lines

to practice writing with pen on paper.
