Index note seed → tree; iterative beats one-shot; diffusion analogy

Writing can be a tedious task, and seemingly impossible, especially when everything that you need to write to produce the final output in one go, where accounting all the details is difficult in the mind.
One approach is to utilize the preprogramming of the mind, and write all details in one flow, much like LLMs, but however, humans have limited informational memory capacity for challenging tasks, hence an iterative scheme works better than one-shot growth, also it may turn out to be lightweight (low power) than one-shot heavy work.

Following the natural process of how a complex organism like a tree grows from a seed, any document starts with an initial seed idea (approximate content of document). Large chunkier details are added first which shape the large structures. Simultaneously, the increasing depth makes a typical human to have a smaller reach, i.e. a narrow focus due to large amount of specialized information, leading to adding finer details. After a sufficient threshold of accuracy, the document is ready.

unlike LLMs, humans work differently,
[apply task-evolution recursive operator on informational structure], resembles stable diffusion i.e. recurrent evolution from same operator/transfer function/neural net
