New ideas appear out of nowhere: "Evil Nigger" becomes fixated on a minor-key figure, in falling fourths, that resembles the opening motif of Mahler's First Symphony, and "Gay Guerrilla" hammers away at the Lutheran hymn "A Mighty Fortress Is Our God," beloved of Bach.

Success in this case demands innovation, but not the kind in which one big idea appears in a flash of inspiration.
Such ideas appeared to foreshadow the process of adaptation and speciation developed more completely by Darwin and Wallace.
