Subject: Seing the Invisible |

As people accumulate experience, they do not become overburdened with facts and knowledge and mental bric-a-brac.
They become lighter. Able to see the world in a new way. Able to see things that other people cannot. Able to see things that to them are obvious and in plain sight, and yet nobody else sees these things at all.
In short, they steadily gain the power to see the invisible.
They can see patterns that novices do not notice. They can see anomalies -- events that did not happen and other violations of expectancies. They can see the big picture. They can see the way things work. They can see opportunities and improvisations. They can see events that either already happened (the past) or are going to happen (the future). They can see differences that are too small for novices to detect. They can see their own limitations.
They draw on two primary sources of power: 1) pattern matching, and; 2) mental simulation.
Skills and knowledge are not a set of procedures and rules. Systematic approaches do not help people to gain expertise.
And only novices follow the rules.
My notes from a chapter titled "The Power to See the Invisible" in a book called "Sources of Power: How People Make Decisions" by Gary Klein. For the hyper-rational, and others interested in the Patterning Strategies board.
