I couldn't think of a koan-y question, but here is a discussion prompt.
Let's make a Worksheet!
Let's come up with some practice examples of the 2x2 matrix (such as the "Being Lost or Not" example in the OP), that people can fill out. The examples should be short (single paragraph) everyday type problems that people can relate to. Submit examples in the comments. I'll take the best and put them in a worksheet in Google docs, and link to it here.
That way, when people in the future come and read this post, they have an activity to help them practice it. Also, people can use them at meetups if they want. Worksheets, of course, aren't the BEST way to learn, but they're better than nothing.
What immediately comes to mind for me:
You are knitting a fitted garment. Let's say it's a sweater. You've been knitting for awhile, and you''re starting to get concerned it won't fit the intended recipient. You can't tell for sure, because your needle is too short to fully stretch it out, but you just have this feeling. This feeling you hope is wrong, because you don't want to rip out and re-do all the ribbing you've just knit...
That's time for a new set of knitting needles, and empiricisim. I have 60in cables.
