There’s an effect where faced with a high-dim reality, you make more progress by removing dimensions from models than by adding them. 2x2s are a good example. Another is indented thread UIs —> unindented streams. Conversations are high-d. Going from 1-2 = false sense of clarity.

I see this in writing too. Sometimes the way to get unstuck is to throw away all structuring elements like sub-headings and multi-level outlines.Unlock the poiesis by deprecating elements of praxis.

The thing is, people assume throwing away dimensions is the same as throwing away information. This is exactly backwards. By throwing away dimensions you collapse information onto a lower-dimensional projective plane and recover couplings lost in the dimensional separation.

It’s a trade off I don’t think of enough. Dimensions provide access patterns, or heuristics, to quickly access specific but limited information. Thinking of Hive partitions. I am always gung ho on information go brrrrrrt, and miss the opportunity to form the big picture
