A summary might be:
>If you do not know the steps to your goal with high confidence, then do the following:
>
>You can imagine that you're looking at a map, and your distant goal is somewhere on the map, but the map is blurry / not yet revealed all the way to your distant goal
>
>So then identify what options you *do* know the steps to (the ones that _are_ visible on the map), and then pick the option from those that is most novel
>
>This is because the more novel it is, the more likely it is to reveal large and unexpected portions of the map, potentially including the part that gives you a visible path to your distant goal
>
>So when uncertain, identify the most novel thing you know how to do/achieve, and repeat that, and that's likely the best (albeit very roundabout!) route for getting to your distant not-yet-visible-path goal.
