Discovery capacity reflects the ability of a system to repeatedly generate useful understanding.
It is broader than individual discoveries.
It includes the structures that make future discoveries more likely.
This paper evaluates discovery capacity through learning systems, knowledge infrastructure, decision quality, and adaptive intelligence.
The most valuable exploration systems are not those that discover once.
They are those that continuously improve their ability to discover.
