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.

More dimensions add legibility not information. They discard information.

Search is another example. When information gets rich enough discard fo,der and tag hierarchies. Just search.
