As things arise which interrupt this interaction, a problem necessitates inquiry which results in knowledge. Locate and decide just what the difficulty is. Search for data that will be useful in solving the problem. Analyze data to see what would be the consequences if acted upon. Act on one possibility to see if smooth interaction ensues.

In knowing the world, each beginner builds his or her own, seeking for as much consistency as he or she can find between his or her own ideas and those of others.
