Love the jazz analogy here. The Keith Jarrett example nails somethin most people miss about improv. Back when I was learning guitar, my teacher used to say real improvisation is like having an internalzed library of licks, not random noodling. What seperates good builders from mediocre ones is that absorbed vocabulary, not just memorized plans.

Vocabulary is a great analogy! Like building blocks you get g familiar enough with to creatively deploy and recombine.
