Excellent diagrams. Sounds like you had a wonderful mentor that played a pivotal role in your career. I love that you have noticed "these rare insights which frequently arise from outsiders are often not the product of “logical” thought but seem to often arise from some part of the human brain which is outside of the conscious mind, and strangely often seem to arise somewhat independently in multiple places at about the same time". I believe prayer and dreams can facilitate these insights and God can be involved in us. I always wonder when a scientist gets so proud of their achievements, how do they know for sure that the insight wasn't just given to them by a higher being and they were chosen simply because they were in the right place at the right time :-) Ha ha! It all depends on your world view I suppose, but it is always better to be humble.
