... it's no different from how we navigated our planet, it starts with observation .... "a hill' ... then hypothesis ... "I bet there's food behind the hill" ... then we decide to test it. That's what exploring is. Many OODA loops later come guide books and package holidays.

Me : Hmmm. Excellent point. I stand corrected. You could simply start with action ... just walk over the hill with no purpose, no reason, no hypothesis ... just for the sake of walking.
