"textContent": "## Introduction #\n\nPeople often complain that the context window is too small (or too large?). For fixing small bugs, a small context is enough; but for doing creations, larger context window is beneficial.\n\n## Operational work needs precise context #\n\nFor problems with a certain answer, the context doesn't have to be large: human finds out the answer from existing knowledge (and documentations). Knowledge and experience also help reducing the search space.\n\n## Creative work needs large context #\n\nFor tasks without a certain answer, human may need to compose the answer by searching the map for components of _an_ (not _the_) answer. The human's knowledge and experience determine the size and shape of the map. Because answer generating requires multiple components, the search space is usually much larger.\n\nThere is a difference for creative work searches from operation work search: the search space expands, not shrinks, as the human finds more potentially useful components.\n\n## Larger context allows for wilder imaginations #\n\nSince the task is a search, a bigger map allows for more diverse answers. Needless to say, the complexity, difficulty, and scope of the search also expand as the map enlarges.\n\n## Unlike parameters, the link is dynamic #\n\nReader may think human's experience is not like the context, but more of the parameters in a model. I don't think it's true. Human's observation of their experience is not fixed. One may love a song in one day and hate the same song in another.",
