That's actually a feature that washing machines have had for a while - "generative washing" - it is where the extra odd socks come from.

  > extra odd socks I have the opposite issue, can generative washing recover the lost odd socks somehow?

    Common misconception, the socks you think you're losing are being found by other people's washers.

      Ah, the laundry operates in L-space.

    Socks are not getting lost; they are getting compacted to keep the context window small.
