29b: In ambiguity, use a compass, not a map

In uncertainty, don’t seek or move with a map but with a compass. You need to be alert to your surroundings more than relying on external guidance. With a compass, you have a direction to go and must adjust yourself depending on what you find on the way. You have to discover the territory yourself. A map does not fully reflect the territory. Someone else’s path is written on the map, not yours.

If you're unfamiliar with Zettelkasten: These notes are atomic. The aim is to have one idea in a note. The connections between notes are as important as the notes themselves.
