- "yearn" feels kinda close... desiderata
- but it's so impossibly hard to find a word that doesn't already connote either
- the target / reference level itself, not the gap
- goal
- a sense of lack or wrongness or mistake
- error
- and insofar as there is an existing word for this.... it's "intention"
- which has its roots in turning towards & stretching out
- interesting coincidental similarity with aka creative tension sez Robert Fritz
- well, actually not coincidental
- the "stretching" is at the root of both!
- explores the image of the homunculus at the desk
