A wandering route is difficult to show on a narrow page.

A constraint can make a choice visible. Limit one feature while leaving others open, then inspect what the limit made possible and what it blocked. Keep the experiment reversible; the constraint is a tool for this attempt, not a law.

Draw it inside a square and decide what can be left out.

A short note can preserve what happened: the setting, the change, and one observation. Avoid claiming more than the attempt showed.
