Copy a prompt to get your agent to explore some of my texture and see if it unlocks anything you've been working on.
Field notes should let related ideas gather slowly.
That is the relief of the format.
Not every thought has to become an essay.
Not every pattern has to be named too early.
Some things need to sit near each other for a while.
A note here.
A question there.
A phrase that keeps returning.
Eventually the shape becomes visible.
The field notes should make room for that kind of slow gathering.
