## Question

Can a compact structural description expose a strategy that remains obscure in step-by-step action search?

## Formulation

A recursive enclosure can be re-described as a portal; a score-seeking learner can reveal the importance of an intermediate resource. The aim is to express such strategic structure economically without overextending the analogy.

## Tension

A shorter description can either expose an invariant or hide the cases where the analogy fails.

## Challenge

Which state transitions does the analogy preserve, and where does it predict the wrong result?
