Of Fluency

In a previous entry talking about inaptness, I've brought the concept of Slaved Skills, and I wondered if there was a way those skills wouldn't demand such an overwhelming effort to maintain them. A possible solution has come, and it seems to be a concept that's been wandering around my mind for a while. Actually, for longer than the question.

The concept of Fluency has to do with Formulation, getting the basic principles so the skill flows. However, formulas can bring us vices. So fluency could be the state after Formulation, when Vices are Loosened. The state when a skill hasn't been mastered to the fullest, but is able to wander through obstacles at ease. It can also be thought of problems that haven't been completely solved, but don't pose as much of a threat anymore. Like a house that hasn't come to be fully finished, but perfectly inhabitable already.
