Open roleGFO Dimension
Seam-Sense
Seam-Sense makes possibility visible. Mature Seam-Sense is not contempt for boundaries. It is the capacity to tell real walls from painted doors.
Diagnostic question
Can the person detect hidden affordances in reality?
The hacking dimension: false locks, hidden assumptions, side doors, scale shifts, and frame rotations.
High
Sees where a rule is law, custom, fear, laziness, scar tissue, or a solvable framing problem.
Low
Accepts the default map as the territory.
Shadow
Cleverness without care, contrarian addiction, exploitative loophole-hunting.
Practices
How this signal trains.
- Ask whether the impossibility is material or framed.
- Find the smallest scale where movement becomes possible.
- Stress-test a rule while preserving what it protects.
Role resonance
Roles where this signal often runs high.
