I don't feel like going looking for the original post, someone can move this there if they want, but responding to Godot's complaint about "cached thoughts", it is now apparent that they should more accurately be called "habitual thoughts", thoughts that automatically re-occur in response to a particular stimulus.
Copied with some editing to the Sequence Rerun of Cached Thoughts post
It helps to keep in mind that the sequences are not polished works of brilliance, but things written as first drafts for a book as part of a two-year blog-a-day marathon and that will never be revised. So as long as that "sequences" link is up there, we're stuck with the unpolished bits.
Of course. That is why I wrote "now apparent"; it didn't occur to me very long ago, largely as a result of some research I did on habits a few months ago.
