Clarity
Seeing before prescribing.
Most error begins in skipped seeing. Clarity is the discipline of staying with the map until it becomes plain, and therefore trustworthy.
It is also the small excavation beneath identity: what is role, what is costume, what remains when the label is set down.
Questions that keep the walk honest:
- What would a careful stranger notice first?
- Which remedies require the map to be false?
- Where am I arguing with reality instead of drawing it?
