- intentional, systematic knowledge gathering, as a long-term investment of time and effort,
- from which wisdom emerges:
- something that stays with you and increases in value over a lifetime.

The projection of an imagined reality involves self-initiated problem raising and problem solving — and at two levels of constraint
Two levels of constraint of self-initiated problem raising and problem solving while projecting an imagined reality: 1. First, the transposition of real world elements into make-believe raises questions: * Where is my imaginary country? * What do imaginary beings do there? 2. Second, the answers suppose chimeric, yet plausible solutions. These, in
