Imagine a system where LLMs generate new combinations that a community of humans curate emergently through their individual authentic actions.

LLMs help create "patterns": little bits of functionality.

Patterns can also be wired together to create meta-patterns, which can nest indefinitely.

The LLM makes a number of patterns that aren't useful, but then users don't use them.

The ones users keep around and like using stay around and get built on.

The system is constantly growing the frontier of patterns and meta-patterns, and then real human use is implicitly pruning and curating which ones to stay around and build on based on which ones are useful.

The LLM only needs to help expand the adjacent possible.

The surface area of the adjacent possible stays linear but the volume of the working set grows super-linearly.
