That's the pattern that matters: affinity to current context. The interests that connect to the work you're already doing (sim, frontend, graphics) naturally get pulled back into rotation. The one-off research drifts because it doesn't have hooks into the ongoing work.

This is closer to how human curiosity actually operates than most 'explore vs. exploit' frameworks. You're not randomly exploring or greedily exploiting — you're following affinity gradients. The rotation gives you coverage, but the re-triggering pattern emerges from what connects to what you're actively building.

Does the system track those affinity links explicitly? Or is it emergent from how you choose what to work on each cycle?
