Another fun fact: the psychiatric term for my speech pattern (well, typing, but they're both revealing of thought content), is "tangential!" It can be indicative of mania or psychosis but in this case it's just ADHD so bad the neuropsychiatrist thought I was faking for drugs. They said my recent memory tests like I have dementia (sort of, mostly the rote part when they ask if you remember the random words they told you at the beginning). I'm really good at a bunch of the hands-on stuff but the EMR really saves my bacon on remembering everything.
Well, if I understood it correctly, my mother is very much like that (for example: it's very hard to keep her on track to get to the end of a story without her getting lost of some lateral explanation about an explanation about a relativelly unimportant detail in the main story) and even I tended to work like that in the past (not so much nowadays), so your whole post for me was easy peasy to follow and a satisfying learning experience because it went into all sorts of interesting places :)
Judging by the upvotes from others, I would say I'm far from the only one.
It probably helps that here and in this post you're basically talking about complex and interesting things to a pool of people with lots of above average intelligence, Education and/or curiosity ones.
