Law of Possibility
Potential asks what the vessel can carry; possibility asks what can open. She clears the obstruction, makes the reasoning understandable and gives a promising idea a convincing way forward. This is the teaching's architecture of increase, not a guarantee that every idea will profit.

Confounding
Baffling, perplexing or obscuring a workable conclusion.
Complexity without a convincing reason does not open the door. She makes the case cogent before asking others to move.

- O · Perfection · What you increase
- Possibilities
Convincing, compelling, well-reasoned and relevant.
She edges — gives definition and a workable boundary — to the possibilities. A persuasive proposal, a sound decision or a well-shaped product can move toward an opening because the reasoning holds together.

Confused
Cloudy, uncertain or unable to connect the pieces.
She cannot explain a path clearly while leaving its contradictions untouched. Elucidating includes resolving the cloudy part.

- O · Perfection · What you are
- Opener
Logical, connected, lucid and consistent as a whole.
She becomes the opener. She elucidates — brings light to the plan — so a client, colleague or family member can understand how the pieces connect and where to begin.

Confusing
Tangled, convoluted or difficult to understand.
An unclear offer or instruction closes the opening for someone else. She removes the tangle, not the meaning.

- Opening
Distinct, transparent, unmistakable and understandable.
She works with an opening already present. She eliminates what does not belong — a contradictory instruction, an unnecessary expense or a distraction — rather than removing the clarity that helps her choose.
The switch
Confusing, confused or confounding? Cogent · Edge · Possibilities. Clear the contradiction, explain the connection and define the opening.
Day 8 · Cogent · Clear · keep your design
Keep your openings open — the escape artist
Know your openings. Be cogent enough to clear your way, so no one can corner your plan into their whim. An escape artist is never trapped, because she knew where the doors were before she walked in.
What it is not: It is not deflecting. Deflecting dodges the point; clearing keeps the point and removes what blocks it.
Today: Before any conversation about your plan today, name two openings you will keep, whatever is said.

Buy a friend a seat — and you earn too
However you gift a friend in, she is placed under you, and her seat becomes part of your increase.
