Plan, Reality and Survive (PRS): 3 Ways Ideas Work
Abstract
This framework emerged from a practical need: to evaluate research ideas and understand why the formal scientific method, while necessary for communication, rarely captures how research actually unfolds. What began as a scoring system revealed something more universal—a description of how human thinking naturally works when creating, testing, and refining knowledge.
