1.1.  Topos:  Rudiments and Immediate Resources

This inquiry is guided by two questions that express themselves in
many different guises.  In their most laconic and provocative style,
self-referent but not purely so, they typically bring a person to ask:

| Why am I asking this question?
| How will I answer this question?

Cast in with a pool of other questions these two often act as efficient
catalysts of the inquiry process, precipitating and organizing what results.
Expanded into general terms these queries become tantamount to asking:

| What accumulated funds and immediate series of experiences lead up
| to the moment of surprise that causes the asking of a question?

| What operational resources and planned sequences of actions lead on
| to the moment of solution that allows the ending of a problem?

Phrased in systematic terms, they ask yet again:

| What capacity enables a system to exist in states of question?
| What competence enables a system to exit from its problem states?
