• Epistemic Humility
  • Listed in the references but not attached to a specific claim.
• Improvisation
  • Music. The canonical case — jazz, raga, baroque continuo, blues — where a vocabulary of scales, licks, and rhythmic patterns is deployed against a backbone of harmonic form, meter, and ensemble convention. Theatre. Improv theatre and commedia traditions, where the backbone is genre convention, the offer-acceptance rule, and character, and the vocabulary is stock characters and learned scenework patterns. Crisis response and emergency medicine. Trauma teams and emergency physicians have protocols (the backbone) and learned move-stocks, listen to the patient and scene, and generate response in real time; the high-reliability-organization literature formalizes this.
