Original practice · Optional exercise · Originality through constraints
Choose a low-stakes example you can change without affecting another person’s private information or commitments.
- Describe the current situation in one sentence. The example here is: An invitation hides its useful detail in a long introduction.
- Write a version of twelve words and add essential context separately.
- Compare the result with the difficulty you named. Write one concrete observation.
- Keep, adapt, or stop the experiment. A note about why you stopped is a valid result.
Try a question
Which part is an observation, and which part is an assumption you could check?
