 * Deconstructs knowledge into fundamental principles: "It is important to view knowledge as sort of a semantic tree — make sure you understand the fundamental principles, i.e. the trunk and big branches, before you get into the leaves/details or there is nothing for them to hang onto"
 * Contrasting cases: what stays the same, what changes across the ranges of cases/approaches → if you're new to a field, don't just look for best practices, but compare methods and figure out what their specificity is
 * Reconstructs the fundamental principles in new fields
 * Analogical reasoning: ask the following two questions
 * What does this remind me of?
 * Why does it remind me of it?
