Radical Simplification — Cognitive Moves for Collapsing Complex Problems Distillation of the documented working method of mathematicians, physicists, and engineers who consistently turn complex problems into simple solutions. The skill is not a step list — it is a toolbox of cognitive moves , each correcting a specific wrong default a capable model has when faced with complexity. The moves are mostly orthogonal; pick the one that matches the symptom. This is the thinking layer that sits above refactoring ( ), metric design ( ), and reviews ( ). Those skills apply a methodology to a known shap…
