I picture my consciousness as a scatter of isolated memories that long to be woven into a single narrative. Optimal Traverse lets one uninterrupted line run that errand: it plots a near-shortest circuit through every recollection exactly once, revealing how my inner logic seeks efficiency even while mapping the messy terrain of experience. The lone thread, small against an open field, embodies a moment when disparate thoughts briefly cohere into an elegant, self-sufficient whole.
