WhatsYourWhy's definitions
Definition: A revelatory structural insight characterized by four essential conditions:
1. Accidental
Arises unintentionally, emerging from an activity or mental trajectory not aimed at discovering the insight.
2. Structural
Reveals foundational architecture — a core pattern, constraint, or organizing principle of the self or system — rather than surface-level content.
3. Self-revealing
Exposes a previously hidden truth about the observer’s nature, preference, limitation, or internal configuration.
4. Discontinuous
Appears on a plane of thought distinct from the conscious task at hand; the insight interrupts or overrides the original cognitive stream.

Went to buy milk, had a Baulliard in the cereal aisle that my five-year plan is just cosplaying stability.
