And I keep thinking I can recall details of anything fairly well as long as
it's visual imagery and not words. Guess it's better than having put a
second floor atop the first by mistake! But your right, with such diversity
occuring, while attempting mimicry, perhaps originality in architecture (or
whatever else) comes from a diffusion of real-world input. Just that the
output can be most anything, only rearranged.
