If we get a bit quantum (or an act of God for some), then backtracking could happen by collapsing the dead-ends and "changing" history to stay with what turns out to be the solid plan. Could emergent conscience on AI's neurons do the planning and reasoning that it rather seems to be doing but ML experts will say it is not?
