English term or phrase: random entry
How would you translate "random entry", which was created by Edward de Bono and which is considered as "lateral thinking tool"?

Definition: Random Entry, uses a randomly chosen word, picture, sound, or other stimulus to open new lines of thinking.

Example: The thinker chooses an object at random, or a noun from a dictionary, and associates it with the area they are thinking about. For example, if they are thinking about how to improve a website, an object chosen at random from the environment around them might be a fax machine. A fax machine transmits images over the phone to paper. Fax machines are becoming rare. People send faxes directly to phone numbers. Perhaps this could suggest a new way to embed the website's content in emails and other sites.

atsitiktinis stimulas


Explanation:
Sakyčiau „stimulas“ yra pakankamai geras įrankis nusakyti tai prasmei, nes jo tikslas padėti sugeneruoti naudingą idėją iš, atrodo, nesusijusio su nagrinėjama dalyko.
