You're getting downvoted but I had the same thought. This sounds like engineering. I do believe there are some cases where pushing the problem to a different place is the right thing to do, sometimes that different place is contextually better suited to that task, so you do actually gain performance or capability from moving the problem around.

Sure, but I like how this feels more tactile and how things may bulge in unexpected way.

Like pushing clay around into the right shape of the problem while it’s fighting you.

Constraints and tradeoff feels like the simplified textbook model.
