--6. Making mistakes
This process---simplify to get the result, complexify to see how general it
is---is a good way to understand your model. Most of the time that I spend
modeling is involved in this back-and-forth process. Along the way, I make
a lot of mistakes. As Piet Hein puts it:
The road to wisdom? We'll it's plain and simple to express:
Err and err
and err again
but less
and less
and less.
This back-and-forth iteration in building a model is like sculpting: you are
chipping away a little bit here, and a little bit there, hoping to find what's
really inside that stubborn block of marble. I choose the analogy with
sculpting purposely: like sculpture most of the work in building a model
This is the most fun part of modeling, and it can be very exciting when the
form of the idea really begins to take shape. I normally walk around in a bit
of a daze at this stage; and I try not to get too far away from a yellow pad.
Eventually, if you're lucky, the inner workings of your model will reveal
itself: you'll see the simple core of what's going on and you'll also
understand how general the phenomenon really is.
