Conant's law

Conant's Law states that in any complex system, the ability to make breakthroughs or significant advancements is restricted by the depth of knowledge of its participants. Essentially, a group’s collective expertise dictates how far they can innovate. If knowledge is too specialized or limited, the system will struggle to evolve or solve new problems. This emphasizes the importance of diverse perspectives and a broad knowledge base, as they foster creativity and enhance problem-solving capabilities in any collaborative effort, whether in science, business, or technology.
