We probably have to create databases of ..pathways to guide our navigation (it also fits nicely in your fourth box). But the question is how to collect as many of these pathways from 'idiosyncratic, eccentric, even weird' individuals. It doesn't occur to people that something like this could be done. Computer output is predictable and uniform, but this doesn't mean the (computer) input has to look and be as predictable and uniform. Great questions!
