Bound the Unknown

Core principle. Looking is not the hard part. Stopping is.

• This is the state before anything is a task. You cannot yet say whether it is a bug, a feature, or nothing at all.
• The weight sits in Say the budget first and Stop on a shape. Everything between them is cheap once those two hold.
• You opened this in the middle of something. This is how to do that work, not a replacement for it. Name what you were doing before you start, and return to it when this is done.

When this opens

The first probe is indistinguishable from an ordinary question. The second is not.

• Two probes have run and no finding has been named. That is the countable trigger. Waiting for a feeling that terrain is unclear does not work, because that feeling arrives late or never.
• A question needs a command nobody has run yet.
• A read came back different from what was expected.
• A script is about to be written to find something out.
