A state in the Maker's Loop
The Implementer
- Missing Imagination
- Has Invention
- Missing Insight
Invention alone is the Implementer: building what's asked, while someone else supplies the idea and judges whether it worked.
What it feels like
You're good at making things real, and you're busy. But the brief arrives from somewhere else, and the verdict on whether it worked arrives from somewhere else too. You're the engine, not the steering or the mirror.
What's missing
Imagination and Insight. Without them you can build anything, but you never choose what, and you never find out what it taught anyone.
One move to complete the loop
Watch one real person use the last thing you built, and write down one thing that surprised you. Then sketch one thing you'd build that nobody has asked for.
