The Orbit

Chapter 1: The ORBIT Methodology — Putting It All Together

The test of any methodology is not how elegant it sounds — it's what happens when real teams use it on real problems.

CHAPTER THESIS: ORBIT — Orchestrated Reliable Bounded Intent Tasks — is the integrated methodology that combines everything from Essays III and IV into a working system. It's not a framework to study. It's a practice to adopt.

The Name Unpacked

Each word in ORBIT carries weight:

Component	Meaning	Why It Matters
Orchestrated	The AI coordinates complexity on behalf of the human	You direct; the system executes across parallel streams
Reliable	Glass Box transparency + audit trails + bounded autonomy	Enterprise-grade trust, not startup-grade hope
Bounded	Mission documents define the playing field	Maximum exploration within defined constraints
Intent	Natural language is the interface — state what you want	No translation layer between thought and action
Tasks	Everything decomposes into executable, measurable units	Progress is always visible, always traceable

ORBIT is what you get when the pilot model, the Mission Cockpit, the view system, living documents, and the architecture (The Centaur) come together with the simplicity thesis and its lens mechanism (The Collapse) as a single integrated system. In the language of Anton Korinek's research on transformative AI, when complex cognitive tasks collapse into executable functions, entire economic sectors restructure around the new cost landscape. ORBIT is the methodology that enables this restructuring at the team and enterprise level.

The ORBIT Architecture: Solving the Three LLM Limitations

Large Language Models are extraordinarily capable — but they have three fundamental limitations that prevent naive use from producing enterprise-grade results. ORBIT's architecture is designed specifically to address each one.

The ORBIT architecture addresses these limitations not through a single technique but through a layered system of complementary strategies — each targeting specific failure modes, and together creating a compound defence that produces reliable, coherent, enterprise-grade output.

Solving Context Degradation

Massive Decomposition is the foundational strategy. Rather than feeding a large, complex task into a single LLM context window, ORBIT decomposes it into small, focused subtasks — each of which fits comfortably within the model's effective attention range. The MDAP framework (Meyerson et al., 2025) provides the mathematical proof: by decomposing tasks into atomic subtasks and applying multi-agent voting at each step, their system MAKER completed over one million sequential steps with zero errors — using relatively simple, non-reasoning models. The intelligence came from the system design, not the model. Smaller, well-defined tasks produce dramatically better results than large, ambiguous ones — because the model can attend fully to the information that matters.

Progressive Disclosure ensures the model receives only the information it needs for the current subtask — not everything at once. This is the principle behind Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG): instead of loading an entire knowledge base into context, the system retrieves relevant fragments on demand. ORBIT extends this through pull-on-demand architecture: agents request specific information when they need it, rather than having everything pushed upfront. This reduces context overhead by orders of magnitude while ensuring the model works with clean, relevant inputs. Anthropic's donation of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to the Linux Foundation's Agentic AI Foundation in December 2025 — with OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, and AWS as co-founders — effectively standardised this pattern as an industry norm. By Anthropic's own count, MCP now has over 10,000 active public servers — pull-on-demand context management is the architecture the industry is converging on.

Server-side prompt caching eliminates the cost and latency of repeatedly sending the same foundational context (system prompts, mission documents, architectural standards). Cached prompts reduce costs by up to 90% and latency by up to 85% (vendor-reported maxima) — making it economically viable to maintain rich, persistent context across thousands of agent interactions without degrading performance.

Solving Hallucination

Parallelisation and voting runs multiple agents on the same task and uses consensus mechanisms to select the best output. Wang et al.'s research on self-consistency (2023) demonstrated that sampling multiple reasoning paths and returning the majority answer significantly reduces errors — because incorrect hallucinations are unlikely to be consistent across independent runs. ORBIT applies this principle through parallel agent execution with structured voting, ensuring that confident-sounding errors are caught by disagreement.

Specialist tools remove entire categories of hallucination by giving agents access to external verification: code execution engines that test whether generated code actually works, search tools that verify facts against sources, databases that confirm data against ground truth, and file system access that checks whether referenced files exist. Schick et al.'s Toolformer research (2023) showed that a 6-billion parameter model with tools achieves performance competitive with much larger models — because tools provide the factual grounding that generation alone cannot. Anthropic's 2025 release of advanced tool-use capabilities takes this further: Tool Search allows agents to access thousands of tools without consuming the context window (solving the tool-definition bloat problem), while Programmatic Tool Calling enables agents to invoke tools within a code execution environment — reducing context overhead while increasing precision. Both innovations validate the principle that agents should discover and use tools on demand, not carry the weight of every possible tool in their context.

A panel of AI agent experts — multiple specialised agents with different roles and system prompts — provides domain-specific validation. A security-focused agent reviews for vulnerabilities. An architecture agent checks for consistency. A testing agent verifies functionality. When agents with different perspectives converge on the same answer, confidence is warranted. When they disagree, the system flags the output for human review. A 2025 study on multi-agent LLM orchestration for incident response (arXiv:2511.15755, 348 controlled trials — a single-author preprint, so weight it accordingly) quantified the advantage: orchestrated multi-agent systems achieved 100% actionable recommendation quality compared to 1.7% for single-agent systems — an 80× improvement in specificity and 140× improvement in correctness, with zero quality variance across all trials. The domain is narrow — incident response — but the architectural lesson generalises. The evidence is clear: specialised agents working in concert produce results that no single agent can match.

Mission-bound structured documents are the most fundamental hallucination defence. When the model works within explicit constraints — product specifications, architectural schemas, interface contracts, design standards — the space of valid outputs is dramatically constrained. The model cannot hallucinate a database schema that contradicts the one defined in the mission document. It cannot generate code that violates the architectural patterns specified in the bounded artifacts. Research on controlled generation pipelines confirms that explicit constraints are the most reliable method for reducing hallucination in production systems.

Solving Loss of Coherence at Scale

Goal-seeking autonomous loops are agents that iterate toward a defined success criterion, checking their own output against explicit goals at each step. Based on the Reflexion framework (Shinn et al., NeurIPS 2023), which demonstrated 20-22% improvements on reasoning and decision-making tasks, these loops ensure that each iteration moves closer to the mission — not further from it. The agent doesn't just generate output; it evaluates whether that output serves the objective, and self-corrects when it doesn't. A 2025 paper in npj Artificial Intelligence (a Nature Portfolio journal; Li & Zhao) on dual-loop self-reflection — explicitly inspired by metacognition — provides further validation: LLMs that critique their own reasoning against reference responses through iterative reflection cycles show measurably improved output quality. The pattern is the same one visible in Knuth's Claude Cycles case study: 31 explorations where each failure was documented, analysed, and used to refine the next attempt. Self-reflection is not a luxury. It is the mechanism that turns iteration into learning.

Structured planning requires agents to create an explicit plan before executing — then follow the plan step by step, checking progress against milestones. Wei et al.'s chain-of-thought research (2022) demonstrated that reasoning step by step before answering improves performance, and Yao et al.'s Tree of Thoughts (NeurIPS 2023) improved GPT-4's success on the Game-of-24 benchmark from 4% to 74%. ORBIT applies this at every level: mission-level plans decompose into sprint-level plans, which decompose into task-level plans, each with explicit success criteria.

Agent delegation and orchestration maintains coherence across scale through hierarchical coordination. A coordinator agent holds the high-level mission context and delegates specific subtasks to specialist agents — each working within bounded scope but contributing to the unified objective. Practice at Microsoft and IBM converges on hierarchical architectures at scale (50+ agents), precisely because they maintain goal alignment that flat architectures lose.

Agent swarms — large numbers of agents working in parallel on different aspects of a problem — extend this further. Each agent in the swarm processes a portion of the work, communicating through lightweight event-driven mechanisms. Distributed consensus across the swarm reduces individual agent errors, while the orchestration layer ensures all outputs converge toward the mission. The swarm doesn't replace human judgment — it amplifies it, executing at a scale and speed that no individual could achieve while remaining tightly bound to mission-defined objectives.

No single technique solves all three limitations. The power of the ORBIT architecture is in the combination — a layered defence where each technique compensates for the weaknesses of others. Decomposition keeps context clean. Voting catches hallucinations. Planning maintains coherence. Tools provide grounding. And structured mission documents anchor everything to a clear, verifiable objective. The result is not a perfect system — no AI system is — but a system whose failure modes are visible, bounded, and correctable. That is the difference between enterprise-grade and prototype-grade AI: not the absence of errors, but the architecture to detect and recover from them.

The Centaur Workflow

ORBIT comes to life through a cyclical workflow that embodies the Centaur principle: human and AI working as an amplified team, each contributing what they do best. This is not a linear process — it is a loop that returns to brainstorming whenever deeper understanding is needed.

The power of this workflow is in the brainstorm artifacts. These are not casual notes — they are structured outputs that capture the shared understanding between human and AI: architecture diagrams, sequence flows, entity models, interface specifications, product requirements, design mockups, process definitions. Each artifact becomes a reference point that grounds subsequent work. When the AI builds, it builds from an artifact that both parties agreed on. When the human verifies, they verify against a specification that was collaboratively produced. The artifacts are the contract between human intent and AI execution — authoritative over the work, yet a revisable hypothesis: firm enough to build on, and updated when the evidence and the artifact disagree.

The Four Cs — Concise, Complete, Correct, Clear — are the quality gate that makes this work. (The Four Cs are explored in depth in The Enterprise, where they are applied to contracts, APIs, and business relationships as the principle that enables complexity to collapse at boundaries.) Traditional software development suffers from ambiguous requirements that cascade into rework. The Centaur Workflow inverts this: invest in clarity at the brainstorm stage, and the build stage becomes dramatically faster and more accurate. Quality in produces quality out. Vague input produces vague output. The discipline of satisfying the Four Cs before building is what separates AI-amplified work from "vibe coding" — where speed without shared understanding produces fragile, unmaintainable results.

The workflow is cyclical, not linear. You can return to brainstorming from any phase. A failed verification triggers a deeper brainstorm. A scope change during build sends you back to agree on updated artifacts. This is the scientific method applied to building: hypothesise (brainstorm), agree on the experiment (artifacts + Four Cs), execute (build), observe results (verify), and learn. Every cycle compresses. Every iteration sharpens the shared understanding between human and AI. This is the Centaur at work — and it is how the ORBIT architecture produces enterprise-grade results.

These two case studies — Knuth's Claude Cycles and the MDAP framework — illuminate the two complementary dimensions of the ORBIT architecture. Knuth demonstrates that human + AI collaboration, through structured iteration and documented artifacts, solves problems that neither can solve alone. MDAP demonstrates that architectural design — decomposition, voting, and error detection — achieves reliability at scale that no single model can match. ORBIT combines both: the Centaur Workflow for creative discovery, and the MDAP-informed architecture for reliable execution. The human steers. The system scales. The artifacts hold it together.

Practising ORBIT: The First Week

Everything to this point describes how ORBIT works. This section describes how to start. The distinction matters, because the methodology's adoption cost is routinely overestimated: there is nothing to buy and nothing to install. A team that has an AI assistant, a shared board, and version control already owns the tooling. What it doesn't yet own is the discipline.

The minimum artifact set. ORBIT runs on three documents and a board.

• A mission document. One page. Where we are going, why it matters, and — just as important — what we will not do. Not a poster: the operating constraint every piece of work is checked against. It will evolve; that is the point.
• Goals. Three measurable commitments the mission can be steered by. A goal is either a target ("cut onboarding time below one day") or a constraint ("never exceed the error budget"). If progress can't be measured against it, it isn't a goal yet.
• A working contract per piece of work. The current best hypothesis, written down: scope, acceptance criteria, how the result will be verified. Spec-anchored, not spec-as-scripture — the contract is the thing you deliberately revise, never the thing you silently ignore.

The board needs exactly four states: To do → In progress → Review → Done. Everything — documents included — lives in version control, so every change has a history and nothing evolves invisibly.

The four non-negotiables. These are the whole discipline. Teams that keep them get the compounding described in this essay; teams that relax them get expensive chaos with better autocomplete.

1. Brainstorm first. No work starts until the human and the AI have aligned on the approach against the contract. Quality in, quality out — the cheapest moment to fix a misunderstanding is before anything is built.

2. Agreement is the gate. Brainstorming ends in an explicit agreement: scope, acceptance criteria, and the verification plan, locked. Nothing executes before the gate opens. The gate is one decision, not a ceremony.

3. Review is a conversation. Whatever lands in review — finished work, a failed loop, an audit finding — is triaged by talking it through with the AI: accept, refine, discard, promote. Decisions are outcomes of the conversation, never one-click reflexes on work nobody examined.

4. The AI proposes; the human decides. Agents never silently change anything that matters. Findings become proposals; proposals wait for judgement. And the contract itself is edited only deliberately, during brainstorming — never as a side-effect of a build.

Day	Practice
One	Write the mission document. Resist the urge to make it longer than a page.
Two	Set the three goals. Argue about them — the argument is the alignment.
Three–four	Take one real piece of work through the full cycle: Brainstorm → Agree → Build → Verify. No shortcuts on the gates, even when they feel heavy. They feel heavy exactly once.
Five	Hold the first review-as-conversation. Triage everything in the Review column by talking, not clicking.

Only after a full cycle has run gated and verified should autonomy be added — and then bounded. A goal-seeking loop gets an explicit budget: maximum iterations, maximum time, maximum cost. It exits when the acceptance criteria are met and verification passes — never when a score looks good. And if it makes no real progress across consecutive runs, it stops and asks, because a loop that cannot say "I'm stuck" will happily spend your budget proving it.

Who gates what. The obvious objection: if every piece of work passes a human gate, hasn't the human become the bottleneck — and doesn't "fifty experiments a week" collapse into fifty approval meetings? No, because the gates sit at the level of intent, not inspection. Humans decide direction (brainstorm), commitment (agreement), and acceptance (review). Correctness is checked by machinery — the verification plan runs on every iteration, on every parallel experiment, at machine speed. A team runs fifty experiments a week not because someone inspects fifty outputs, but because fifty verification plans filter the results down to the handful of decisions a human actually needs to make. People spend their attention where judgement matters; the system spends compute everywhere else.

What failure looks like. It is worth naming, because every failure mode is a relaxed non-negotiable. Skipping brainstorm because the task "seems obvious" — drift begins at obvious. Chasing a quality score instead of acceptance criteria — scores flatter; criteria decide. Treating the contract as scripture — it calcifies; or abandoning it entirely — there is nothing to verify against. And autonomy without budgets, which is not autonomy but abdication.

Notice what the name actually describes: a causal chain. Bounded Intent sits at its centre, and it is the input — what you want (the request, the goal being sought) and what constrains it (the mission document and the contract). The Centaur Workflow is what turns that input into output, with the Four Cs — clear, complete, correct, concise (The Collapse) — gating every beat: a brainstorm isn't finished until the brief passes them, agreement isn't reached until the contract does, a build isn't accepted until verification proves them. Quality in, quality out. What emerges on the other side is the rest of the name: work that is Orchestrated — the AI coordinating across parallel streams while you direct — and Reliable — nothing accepted unverified — delivered as Tasks, units the four states can carry, fulfilled by AI at machine speed.

And the chain does not stop at the name. Run it for a quarter and the outcomes are the ones this series has been pointing at all along: focus amplified, quality amplified, cost collapsed, time compressed, capability amplified. This is the cascade the Unified Framework calls Alignment → Simplicity → Supernova — alignment from bounded intent, simplicity from the collapse of coordination overhead, and the supernova when the loop compounds. The name is not branding. It is the system, spelled.

Chapter 2: The Complete Value Picture

The value isn't in any single feature — it's in what happens when everything works together.

CHAPTER THESIS: Individual features deliver incremental improvement. An integrated system delivers compound transformation. The complete value picture is exponential, not additive.

---

The Integration Premium

Capability	Standalone Value	Integrated Value
AI assistant	Faster individual tasks	—
+ Mission alignment	Tasks aligned to goals	Direction + speed
+ Transparency	Visible AI reasoning	Trust + speed + direction
+ Multiple perspectives	Different stakeholder views	Alignment + trust + speed + direction
+ Safe experimentation	Bounded parallel exploration	Learning + alignment + trust + speed
+ Pattern recognition	Emergent insight across data	Innovation + learning + alignment + trust + speed
= ORBIT	—	The compound exceeds the sum by orders of magnitude

This is the integration premium: each capability amplifies the others. Transparency makes experimentation trustworthy. Safe experimentation makes Living Documents adaptive. Living Documents make mission alignment dynamic. Mission alignment makes pattern recognition relevant. Pattern recognition feeds back into better hypotheses for the next experiment.

---

The Complexity Collapse Equation

Recall from The Crisis: Total Complexity = Σ(Mission Complexities) + Σ(Interface Costs)

The complete ORBIT system attacks both terms simultaneously:

When interface costs approach zero, something remarkable happens: the system's natural complexity becomes the only complexity. And natural complexity — the inherent difficulty of the problems you're solving — is the complexity you want. It's where the value lives.

---

---

Chapter 3: Time as the Ultimate Constraint

You can manufacture more of anything except time. Which means time waste is the only truly irreversible loss.

CHAPTER THESIS: Time is the one resource that can't be manufactured, stored, or recovered. The Productivity Supernova returns time to humans by eliminating the waste embedded in fragmented, complex systems.

---

The Time Tax of Complexity

Every enterprise process carries a hidden time tax — time consumed not by the work itself but by the complexity surrounding the work:

Process	Actual Work Time	Complexity Time Tax	Total Time	Tax Rate
Software feature	2 days coding	8 days (meetings, reviews, deployment)	10 days	80%
Marketing campaign	3 days creative	12 days (approvals, coordination, assets)	15 days	80%
Sales proposal	1 day writing	4 days (research, pricing, legal review)	5 days	80%
Financial close	2 days reconciliation	8 days (data gathering, verification)	10 days	80%
Hiring decision	1 day interviews	19 days (sourcing, scheduling, consensus)	20 days	95%

Representative figures for illustration — your ratios will differ; the pattern is what matters.

The pattern these illustrations point at: across functions, the complexity time tax tends to consume the large majority of total process time. The actual valuable work is a fraction of the elapsed time.

---

The SDLC Collapse: The Proven Case

The Software Development Life Cycle provides the most documented evidence of time collapse:

This isn't theoretical. Teams using AI-assisted, mission-aligned development workflows report 10-50x compression of traditional timelines (practitioner reports, not controlled studies) — not by cutting corners but by eliminating the coordination overhead, context switching, tool navigation, and waiting that constituted the vast majority of elapsed time.

---

Beyond Software: The Universal Time Dividend

The same compression applies to every enterprise function once complexity collapses:

Enterprise Process	Traditional Timeline	Post-Collapse	Time Returned
Quarterly business review	3 weeks preparation	Real-time (always ready)	3 weeks
Competitive analysis	2 weeks research	2 hours (AI synthesis)	~2 weeks
Compliance audit	4 weeks	Continuous (automated)	4 weeks per cycle
Customer 360 report	5 days (cross-system data)	Instant (unified cockpit)	5 days
Strategic planning cycle	6 weeks	1 week (AI-modelled scenarios)	5 weeks
New employee onboarding	3 months to productivity	3 weeks (AI-guided)	10 weeks

Representative figures for illustration — your ratios will differ; the pattern is what matters.

Chapter 4: The Infinite Ocean of Opportunity

McKinsey estimated in 2023 that generative AI alone could add $2.6–4.4 trillion in value annually. Needs of that scale went unmet not because we lack intelligence, but because complexity made serving them uneconomical.

CHAPTER THESIS: The Productivity Supernova doesn't just make existing work faster — it makes previously impossible work possible. The market expansion that follows is not incremental but explosive.

Jevons Paradox: Why Efficiency Creates More, Not Less

In 1865, economist William Stanley Jevons observed something counterintuitive: as steam engines became more efficient, coal consumption increased. The cheaper energy became, the more uses people found for it.

This principle — Jevons Paradox — predicts what happens when AI collapses the cost of intelligent work:

---

Markets That Couldn't Exist Before

When output per person multiplies — 5–10x today, with orders of magnitude in trajectory — markets that were previously uneconomical emerge:

Market Category	Why It Couldn't Exist Before	Size/Trajectory
Custom enterprise software	Too expensive for SMBs	Previously $30M → now <$1M (Inc. Magazine)
Personalised education	Required 1:1 tutoring at scale	EdTech projected $1.28T by 2034
Rural telemedicine	Infrastructure + specialist costs	Roughly half the world's population lacks access to essential health services (WHO)
Micro-SaaS for niche markets	Development costs exceeded market size	Print-on-demand: $10.2B → $103B by 2034
AI-native creative tools	Required human specialists	Creator economy: $191B → $480-1,490B by 2027-2034

Market-size projections from commercial research firms — directional at best.

The resource being "consumed" isn't labour — it's human creativity and intent. And as Jevons would recognise, the appetite for creativity is infinite.

---

The Entrepreneurship Explosion

When barriers to building collapse, entrepreneurship explodes:

• Over 19 million new business applications since end of 2020 in the U.S.
• Over 5 million new businesses started in 2023 alone
• Business applications jumped nearly 50% in the past decade
• 47% of professionals said AI made them more likely to start a business (LinkedIn, platform survey)

What once required $30 million can now be accomplished with less than $1 million. The infinite ocean is real. ORBIT gives every fisherman a dramatically larger net.

---

The Workforce Evidence: Amplification, Not Replacement

The data dismantles the job-destruction narrative:

Metric	Impact	Source
AI-assisted customer service agents	14% more productive on average	Brynjolfsson, Li & Raymond (QJE)
Least experienced workers with AI	35% more productive	Brynjolfsson, Li & Raymond (QJE)
Experience equivalence	2 months + AI = 6 months without AI	Brynjolfsson, Li & Raymond (QJE)
AI wage premium	56% higher salaries (up from 25% prior year)	PwC AI Jobs Barometer (2025)
New job categories created	AI Ethics Officers, MLOps Engineers, Expert AI Trainers ($100s/hour)	Industry data

The pilot model embodies this: the human doesn't become obsolete — they become the most valuable component. The pilot who directs 20 AI agents toward a clear mission is worth more, not less, than they were before. And as the infinite ocean opens up, demand for human creativity doesn't shrink. It multiplies.

Chapter 5: The Value Discovery Problem — Matching Method to Moment

The hardest problem isn't building the solution — it's discovering what solution to build.

CHAPTER THESIS: Most ambitious projects fail not from poor execution but from solving the wrong problem. The methodology must match the nature of the problem — and ORBIT is purpose-built for the Complex domain where most real work lives.

---

The Planning Paradox

Two government projects. Same era. Radically different outcomes:

Project	Method	Budget	Result
Healthcare.gov (2013)	Waterfall (detailed planning)	$600M	6 users on launch day
FBI Sentinel (2012)	Agile (after waterfall failed)	$99M	Completed in 12 months

The Standish Group's CHAOS reports show agile projects succeed at nearly three times the rate of waterfall projects. Yet waterfall persists because it feels more responsible. It produces impressive Gantt charts, detailed requirements, and the comforting illusion of predictability.

The illusion is the problem: the plan assumes you already know what you need to know.

---

The Cynefin Framework: Not All Problems Are Equal

Dave Snowden's Cynefin framework reveals why different problems demand different approaches:

The critical insight: Healthcare.gov was treated as a Complicated problem (detailed planning, expert analysis, execute to spec) when it was actually Complex (unprecedented integration, unknown user behaviour, evolving requirements). The methodology mismatch was fatal.

---

The Decision Framework: Matching Method to Moment

Question	If Yes →	If No →
Do we know what users want?	Complicated territory. Planning works.	Complex territory. Experiment.
Has this exact problem been solved before?	Analogy and best practices apply.	First principles analysis needed.
What's the cost of being wrong?	High → smaller experiments, more validation	Low → move faster, correct as you go
How stable is the environment?	Stable → longer planning horizons OK	Volatile → shorter cycles essential
Do we have product-market fit?	Maximise exploitation (optimise)	Maximise exploration (discover)

The nuanced truth: Even within a single product, different components may require different approaches. Infrastructure might be Complicated (use proven patterns). User experience might be Complex (experiment continuously). A production outage is Chaotic (act first, analyse later).

---

ORBIT as Value Discovery Engine

ORBIT doesn't pick one methodology — it enables all of them, matched to the moment:

Principle	Traditional Approach	ORBIT Approach
OODA Loop speed	5 experiments per quarter	50 experiments per week
Cost of experimentation	$50K+ per hypothesis test	Near zero (AI + agents)
Exploration capacity	Pick 3 directions, commit	Test 20 directions simultaneously
Feedback latency	Weeks to months	Hours to days
First principles thinking	Too expensive — settle for analogy	Affordable — question every assumption
Antifragile learning	Failures punished, lessons lost	Failures celebrated, lessons compounded

When building an MVP takes hours instead of weeks, affordable-loss calculations change completely. You can try more ideas. You can question more assumptions. You can explore more of the possibility space.
