- Progressive Disclosure
- Because the structure is shared, a practitioner who has internalized progressive disclosure in one substrate recognizes it in another: a textbook chapter that runs headline to worked example to exercise to derivation, a court filing that runs caption to relief-sought to factual background to legal argument, and a database driver that runs
query()toprepare()to cursor-level options are, structurally, the same move — a surface sufficient to act on, an honest affordance to the next layer, and the full apparatus reachable behind.This sourceTreats minimizing visible complexity and revealing depth on demand as a core information-architecture discipline.
