Where the generalist picks the low-hanging fruit of knowledge, the Liminist operates in the liminal interzones between them.A Liminist is its own specialization, but where all other domains specialize in form, the Liminist specializes in non-form. The evidence of their work exists at the intersections between objects. These intersections have their own space, presence, and tangibility.In a world of disconnected silos stretching vertically into the sky, the Liminist stretches horizontally across them. They function as guides, navigating people across these intersecting planes to comprehend the work and ideas of their unrelated peers.A talented Liminist must be a master translator who can communicate and comprehend across domains, a master diplomat who manages the egos of others after destroying his or her own, and a master guide who oversees others as they journey across the intersecting liminal planes of knowledge.They must be comfortable operating in ambiguity, which is their playground."
