group theory aside, the elegance of sliding implementation is such that it feels like just humming along playing with Turing tapes that can act on each other in some nice smooth way; that's not to say it's a precisely accurate analogy, more that it just feels nice in some intuitive CS / math sort of way the other was that found it easiest to move to known state and then solve, like an intermediate canonical isomorph instead of solving directly as human without machine group theory super rotators
