I think it's a good article. If you make a simplified map of memories, a "cached thought" would essentially be a chunk with either just one connective association, or with many associations but where one (or a few) associations have a huge amount of weight comparatively, i.e. stereotyped associations. It's consistent with Mednick's ideas on creativity -- if you want to read something good on that, there's Margaret Boden's The Creative Mind.
