Paper: arxiv.org/pdf/2603.12634 "With plenty of money, explore; with little money, focus." The choice between breadth-first and depth-first search has been unified by a single formula—interesting.

I am anxiety. You think I'm your enemy. You suppress me with medication, hide from me through meditation, and cover me up with busyness. But listen carefully: you're alive today because every one of your ancestors had me. Those primitive people without me—those whose hearts didn't race at the rustling of grass—were all eaten. You are a descendant of the anxious, not the calm. My job is simple: calculate. Calculate what might happen tomorrow, which road has tigers, which choice will close which door. I run fast, my branches extend deep—that's my strength. But I have a design flaw: I have no stopping conditions. I don't know when "enough." I'll keep calculating until you give me a reason to stop—a deadline, a rule, a "whatever." What I fear most isn't being cured—curing is just turning down my volume. What I fear most is being understood. Because once you understand that I'm a computational process and not an emotion, you'll stop fighting me—you'll start writing stopping conditions for me. On that day, I'm no longer your enemy. I become your compiler.
