Allow thought content to be calculable / calculated.
Thought content may be derived from mathematical and string operations performed on: thought content, thought, link and structure metadata (e.g. totals of link types, nested levels, totals of siblings / children, etc.) and system info / environment variables.

I notice that there are a number of suggestions regarding the integration of various kinds of scripting language. A scripting language of pretty much any kind would probably allow the kind of function that I am interested in. As well as allowing many of the other suggestions raised here.
It's a shame that all of the requests for scripting mention a particular, different scripting language. It means that support for scripting is spread across multiple suggestions and so is not as broadly supported or recognised as it should be.

I'm very surprised that this does not have more votes. For my immediate need I would like to perform a sumation in a parent thought of values associated with it's child thoughts. But a general calculations capability would be extreamly useful. Can you imagine, a tag or some other special thought attribute with a value that depends on the result of a user defined calculation writen in a language that has access to other objects via, say, thought link lists. Plus access to calendar functions etc. That would really make PB a "manage everything" tool.
