Emergence
How to systemize for completely new situations
I'm sure you've had times when you knew the solution was simple, but just out of reach? Then because of some experience, it becomes very obvious in hindsight?
That's emergence. The kind of information, knowledge and wisdom that emerges from experience. There is usually no way to know it in advance.
The best way to deal with it is to write or explain what you've understood till now, what are its consequences or influences and where it is likely to go.
As you keep doing these 3 steps by writing or explaining, it will make things as clear as they can be. It will also give you a view of how the situation is evolving.
It puts you in a place of clarity and, if written, it also details the history for the next time someone has to go through it.
All the best!
