This where I would like people to consider the Psychological concepts of Focussed Mind and Diffused mode of thinking. Barbara Oakley's course on Coursera named, "Learning how to learn" talks a lot about it. It is an interesting read and would totally recommend it.
So a parallel to the Top Idea in your mind would be a diffused mode of thinking stuck on a single problem. The course touches a lot on this.
