+A **scratchpad** is a provisional area for initial ideas or calculations, often transient and not intended for final retention. It acts as a [mental workspace](/wiki/mental_workspace) or physical surface, providing a fluid space for exploration. This [temporary storage](/wiki/temporary_storage) supports immediate thought processes and experimental drafts.
