A map is useful.
A compass is useful.
They are not the same thing.
A map shows possibilities.
A compass suggests direction.
Geology often provides maps.
Thousands of observations.
Thousands of structures.
Thousands of possibilities.
The challenge begins when everything appears important.
That is when direction becomes valuable.
The strongest constraints act like a compass.
Not because they provide certainty.
Because they consistently point toward significance.
The explorer still walks the terrain.
The geologist still studies the rocks.
The drill still tests the target.
But the compass helps determine where the journey begins.
Perhaps intelligence is not the collection of more maps.
Perhaps intelligence is the construction of better compasses.
