Seonglae ChoDaydreaming, Active idle, Background thinking
An activation pattern that continuously associates and recombines ideas in the background to generate insights, even without explicit tasks; an active background processing that randomly extracts concepts to explore and validate new connections, even when there are no requests
DDL (DayDreaming loop)
A cyclical structure that randomly samples concept pairs from memory, explores non-continuous connections using a generative model, and uses a critic model to select only valuable ideas to store back in memory. In LLMs, this can be automated by drawing random samples from a vector DB, running them through a "creative synthesis" prompt followed by a "critique" prompt.

Proposal & discussion of how default mode networks for LLMs are an example of missing capabilities for search and novelty in contemporary AI systems.
