The Management of Your Optionality

The espousal of two or more comparative options at time is the essence of strategic choice. It is useful to call this: "optionality-by-comparison."

For example, value improving proposals can be prioritized by the conditions to which any single option, if chosen, constitutes a barrier to future choice.

Optionality-by-comparison is the reason nature has given us two eyes — more than the reason simply to have a spare. Two eyes provide us vision that is additive by enabling a wider field of vision when using two eyes compared to one.

Our two eyes also cooperate in overlapping visual fields — enabling stereoscopic vision. This is why if you lose an eye, you lose depth perception. Similar to the role of our two eyes in nature, optionality-by-comparison provides depth perception to strategic choice.
