Would you prefer reorganziation
be described as a "stochastic process?"

No, "unsystematic" or "arbitrary" is good enough for me. I just wanted to
be clear that the necessary idea was
going-beyond-available-control-systems, not randomness.

Hmm. Would going beyond available control systems qualify as problem
solving or perhaps innovation, even adaptation?
