Edit: I think Guess to understand 🎨 may often be a better strategy than Rumbling to understand 🎨
This technique involves writing about an idea in a more advanced state than initially comfortable, which strengthens and clarifies the concept.
An action to artificially starting to write about an idea in a forcefully 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 are some blind spots or where it might lack proof. It enables the mind to think about a certain problem in a 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, concepts.
This is connected to why Kevin Kelly says that he doesn't write to transfer his ideas into paper but to enable him to think.
