Problems are bundles of uncertainty and ambiguity. Solving for any kind of problem is an unbundling of the questions implied. There are always more unknowns than knowns.
Naming all the questions we can is what it means to walk about a problem. Each new perspective reveals new possibilities of clarity in understanding and action. Curiosity unfolds a realistic understanding of the possibilities and actions.
This is the opposite of attacking a problem with the brainstorming of opinions, solutions, counter opinions and counter solutions. These are often assumption based and therefore sources of confusion rather than clarity. Clarity is the result of curiosity, one iteration of new questions at a time.
