- intuition amplifier (thanks to Rhett Gayle for that term)
- supplementing requisite variety with random selections (cf. W. Ross Ashby, An Introduction to Cybernetics, “13/18. Supplementation of Selection,” pp. 258–259)
- attenuating anticipated variety in the environment (cf. requisite knowledge)
- lateral thinking (cf. The Creative Whack Pack)
- mnemonic device (Paul Foster Case teaches this through his BOTA curriculum)
- conceptual framework for organizing and sharing experiences as coherent narratives
- elements of ritual composition or performance
