The so-called Feynman Technique is apparently a myth: https://hypothes.is/a/v8slNHsVEe2jo6fXxuB62A

Sascha, it's not completely clear to me how you're defining and using the idea of anastrophes here. You're not using it in the direct rhetorical sense of word ordering as you've linked it, but are using it instead to suggest different, potentially random, re-orderings of ideas and thoughts toward a specific set of potential purposes?
I am a fan of the broader idea of 12 problems which I've also seen in related instantiations including what I would consider "directed" combinatorial creativity, Marshall Kirkpatrick's framing of "triangle thinking" (taking three random notes and seeing how they may interrelate to generate useful insights), Einstein's "combinatorial play", Raymond Llull's combinatorial arts which was done using memory rather than writing, and there's something similar brewing under the surface of the monastic practice of Lectio Divina from the 6th century, though this is more meditative and not as directed (except for as it relates to God).
Prior to this one can see some of these ideas in classic rhetoric when Seneca the Younger wrote in Epistulae morales:
This same sentiment was echoed in ~430 CE, by Macrobius in Saturnalia where he repeated the same idea and even used the bee analogy (he assuredly read Seneca, though he obviously didn't acknowledge him):
