[[Any Idea Is as Valuable as Its Context]], yet ideas are inherently transferable, meaning they can be applied elsewhere. Because [[Meaning Is Contextual]], intentionally applying an idea to a new context enriches it while simultaneously structuring the new context. The idea's underlying structure or logic allows it to function as a powerful metaphor in disparate contexts. For example, the culinary principle of *mise-en-place*—setting up ingredients before cooking—can be applied to knowledge work as a strategy for preparing digital tools and information before starting a task, demonstrating the transfer of an organizational principle across contexts.
