Useful wrong turns

An apparent defect becomes repair capacity, surprise strengthens memory, and a beautiful forest metaphor outruns its evidence. Being wrong is sometimes the beginning of the useful part.

  1. 01
    Start / Materials

    The flaw in Roman concrete may have been the feature.

    A defect-looking inclusion can become repair capacity.

  2. 02
    Memory

    Surprise is a memory technology.

    Prediction error can make an experience more memorable.

  3. 03
    Evidence

    The wood wide web may be better metaphor than fact.

    A beautiful explanation can outrun the evidence and still remain useful.
