To waft is not to waver, but that does not rule out wafting between two
propositions in any but a thoroughly regimented world locked in Weber's iron
cage of rationality.
Wafting, floating, drifting, slithering from one proposition to another:
the usual term is "brainstorming", suspending critical censorship and
releasing the mind to follow associations where it will. Often to
foolishness but sometimes to genuine insight.
