This technique involves writing about an idea as if it were more developed than you initially feel comfortable with, helping strengthen and clarify your understanding.
An action of artificially starting to write about an idea in a more finished state than a creator is ready for. This helps to turn a vague, budding idea into a more robust one. It forces the mind to verify existing connections, to gather all the evidence and examples, to check where there are blind spots or where it might lack proof. It enables the mind to think about a certain problem in higher resolution. It is like downloading the idea to a more active circuit of the mind, where it will be more actively processed. This applies to a broad variety of categories: creating definitions, scenarios, strategies, plans, and concepts.
