Thanks so much for the kind words and thoughtful comment Saul!
You’re totally right — I didn’t coin the phrase surface area for serendipity, and I appreciate the nudge to be clearer about that. What I meant by “introduce” was more “bring into this post / share how I use it,” especially because some people here may not be familiar with it — but I can see how that could read as staking some originality claim I didn’t intend.
I’ve now updated the wording to “describe a concept I use,” as you suggested — thank you again!
