What are inventions other than combinations of existing patterns?

What is the human mind if not a computer?

What is the universe if not repeated regurgitations of the four fundamental forces and 12 particles?

Well criticized combinations of existing patterns

> What is the human mind if not a computer

A computer with important modules installed

> What is the universe if not repeated regurgitations of the four fundamental forces and 12 particles

Repeated regurgitations which have already produced working structures

Yes, having the right modules installed is important.

I guess the key aspect for human inventions is a stochastic element to the combination of existing pattern. I.e. seeing (or imagining) connections that are not obvious.

LLM responses seem pretty stochastic to me
