Tabula Rasa is a great name. I like that idea. Blank slate with no preconcieved notions like a new born innocent. Is there a good example of this?

It's the term used to describe the effect of a Chapter 7 bankruptcy...................all debt removed, result tabula rasa.   That's the only way I'm familiar with modern usage, other than a newborn baby.  That is another example of tabula rasa. 

It caught my attention as well.  :)   Good one!
