Instinctive Inquiry

1. A deliberate yet unstructured approach to experimentation where the question is carefully crafted with a clear goal in mind, but the testing process is fluid, spontaneous, and open to unexpected insights. It values creativity, instinct, and adaptability over conventional scientific rigor, fostering discovery through non-traditional methods.

2. A process of exploration and testing that begins with a purposeful, well-thought-out hypothesis or question, aimed at reaching a specific and intentional conclusion. Unlike traditional scientific methods, the approach to testing is freeform, relying on intuition, gut feeling, and creative exploration rather than rigid protocols or measurement.
