Limit Thinking

Don't ask "what is the value at this point?" — ask "what does this converge to as we push the variable toward its extreme?" Most planning failures evaluate a snapshot instead of a trajectory. The mathematical concept of a limit — what a function approaches rather than where it is — exposes asymptotes, phase transitions, and convergence traps hiding inside seemingly linear plans.

How to Execute This Skill

STEP 1 — Identify the Variables

For the system or decision being evaluated, identify the key variables that could be pushed toward an extreme.

LIMIT ANALYSIS SETUP
System: [what's being evaluated]
Variables to push:
  - Variable 1: [what is it?] → Push toward: [0 / ∞ / 100% / boundary]
  - Variable 2: [what is it?] → Push toward: [0 / ∞ / 100% / boundary]
  - Variable 3: [what is it?] → Push toward: [0 / ∞ / 100% / boundary]
