You have an urgent problem, and no routines or obvious solutions to solve it. The first impulse is to search Google or the books on the shelves to find something useful. You look for answers to apply here and now. The quick fix method. What is possible depends on memory and chance.
Another approach is to analyze the problem, identify the cause, and make a plan to eliminate or reduce it. The problem solving method. A variant is where you formulate the problem as a positive challenge, create a pool of alternatives, select one or a few, and form a prototype. The solution design method. What is possible depends on cognitive skills.
There is still another method. It is based on intuition. It is what philosophers and artists call inspiration, experienced in the eureka moment, as a sudden insight or subtle sensation. No where — now here. The magical state of revelation and reception. What is possible depends on access to the potential.
That something is possible means it could manifest under the appropriate conditions. It may exist or happen, without being certain or even probable. Probability is the likelihood that an event will occur or an object will exist. Manifesting a possibility means increasing the probability from (almost) zero to one.
What is possible? We cannot know for sure because of the uncertainty inherent in the complex system…
