Depth-First Search in Conversation

i've been thinking about conversation recently, like with strangers.

it's often a depth-first search through the person's information store. people use standard entry nodes and then follow them to other conceptual nodes, usually without jumping. but if you get stuck or too deep, the jump will happen.
