His pattern matching skill enables him to quickly learn new subjects because he can apply what he has learned from other fields about similar patterns. Furthermore, the new subjects further enrich his pattern repository. It's a virtuous cycle. Martin,

While he is digging into a subject he searches for patterns. His wide interests help him because he gets a very lot examples of different patterns. I think looking to completely different things can help being more creative in other areas - such as airplane manufacturers looked at birds when improving their airplanes.

Nathan Myhrvold is definitely a man of the Renaissance, I enjoyed this article--and the video--very much.
