Random Stimulus Session

Break out of mental ruts by forcing connections with random inputs.

Core Insight

Your brain follows established neural paths. Random input forces new connections that deliberate thinking can't reach.

Process

1. Generate 3-5 random stimuli
2. Force connections with the problem (no "this doesn't apply")
3. Extract the interesting kernel from each
4. Develop the viable ideas

Output Format

## Random Stimulus Session: [Problem/Topic]

### The Challenge
[What we're ideating on]

### Stimulus 1: [Random Word/Concept]

**Forced Connections:**
- [Connection 1] → [What it suggests]
- [Connection 2] → [What it suggests]
- [Connection 3] → [What it suggests]

**Kernel:** [The interesting idea that emerges]

### Stimulus 2: [Random Word/Concept]
[Same structure]

### Stimulus 3: [Random Word/Concept]
[Same structure]

### Most Promising Ideas
1. [Idea] - [Why it's interesting]
2. [Idea] - [Why it's interesting]

### Next Step
[How to explore the best idea further]

Stimulus Types to Try

• Random word: Force connect a noun to your problem
• Random constraint: "What if it had to be [instant / free / invisible / massive]?"
• Random object: Look at something nearby and connect it
• Random combination: "[Your field] + [unrelated concept]"
• Random person: "How would [historical figure / fictional character] approach this?"

Rules

• No rejecting stimuli as "not applicable" - that's the point
• Quantity over quality during generation
• Separate generation from evaluation
• Try at least 3 stimuli before concluding

Generate random stimuli and apply to user's problem immediately.
