Take a problem and apply random models to it while asking the question: "What would that mean?"
The point would be to expand the amount of different models that one uses to look at problems.

That may sound like gobbledegook. But its not. Deduction is using algebra. Induction is inventing algebra (or a new algebraic principle). Almost all thinking processes are a combination, but we all have a proclivity towards one or the other.
You can only use algebra once you modeled the problem.
Building models and choosing the right model for a problem is the difficult thing.

Afterwards you can use linear thinking to become a solution but you won't get a good model for your problem that way.
