Modern systems can measure almost everything and still fail to understand what matters. This Bit explores the “precision trap”: the cost of resolving a complex system into finer and finer numbers until the broad constraints shaping its behavior disappear beneath the detail. Sometimes the useful answer lives at a coarser grain.
This Bit grows from a larger framework article. If you want the full deduction rather than the conversation around it, you can continue here.
