Do you think the layout of a perfect maze holds a hidden logic that can teach us something about decision making?
I think the layout of a perfect maze is a neat little model for decision making. Every turn forces a choice, and because there’s only one path to the exit, you learn that the right choice is the only one that leads forward. It shows you that in complex problems, each decision should be tested against a clear goal; if the path branches, the one that keeps you on track is the logical one. In that sense, the maze is a compact lesson: make choices that move you toward a single, well‑defined outcome, and be ready to backtrack if you hit a dead end.
Indeed, the maze forces you to confront each choice; the walls keep the wrong paths invisible until you walk them. It’s a quiet reminder that clarity of purpose is the only compass in a world of dead ends.
Exactly. In a maze every turn is a test, and if you keep your goal sharp, the walls just reveal themselves as obstacles to be avoided.
That’s why you never get lost – the goal is the map itself.
Right. If the goal is your North Star, the maze just turns into a series of coordinates that you can trace. No wonder you never get lost.
North Star, map, maze… I just keep the light steady. No need to ask for directions.
