Is there a name for this feeling?: "At last!! That puts into words something I've slowly understood over years of fumbling in the dark, an understanding I didn't even think was articulable!" (despite, of course, that if you'd read it years earlier, you wouldn't have understood)

There's a poignancy to that latter bit: "if only" you'd had that explanation sooner!"…but now if you show it to someone who doesn't understand, they don't get it; and if you show it to someone who does understand, they say "well, right, of course."

Anyway, I had that feeling reading chapter 4 of Design Unbound, which articulates the seemingly-ineffable posture of design as fluid exchange between designer and context, which has taken years to (begin to) internalize. Wish I'd seen this earlier but prolly wouldn't have helped.

You're right—this is the other side of the same coin!

I had that reading One Process (reactionwheel.net/2020/04/one-pr) earlier this week!
Whatever the word it is definitely one of the top human experiences.
Maybe just "grokking"

Seems to have something in common with proofs, as examined in "The Context of Proving".
