One might imagine three or four quite different individuals encountering one another and beginning to converse, and a colorful dialogue gradually unfolding. The first speaker would lay the groundwork with their remarks, the others would build upon this foundation, responding to previous thoughts and perhaps even surprising themselves with the ideas they are drawn to articulate. If one were then to recall the conversation from memory, the various thoughts would blur together, no longer clearly attributable to any one speaker, as the original ideas would have been altered in tone and meaning by the responses that followed. Even the participants themselves might be surprised by the twists and turns their thinking had taken. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
