adaptability. Chapter 3 will examine how mental models shape our per- ception of complexity and how diverse perspectives create more robust understanding than any single viewpoint could provide. From there, we’ll move to more concrete approaches—using land- scape metaphors to make complexity intelligible, combining and recom- bining building blocks to create adaptive solutions, and embracing mul- tiple roles to navigate diverse contexts. We’ll explore how canyons create productive boundaries, how stories make meaning of complexity, and how intelligence gathering provides the awareness needed for effective navigation. Throughout, we’ll maintain focus on the central challenge: creating and maintaining coherence amid complexity—not by eliminating com- plexity but by developing the capabilities to navigate it effectively. Let’s learn the steps of that dance.
