Examples

Learning a Name
Someone's name is often an element in the proximity, and is related to all kinds of things. If you become aware of someone's name, you can usually relate to them better.

Entrepreneurs
People who start new businesses are acutely aware of markets and emerging opportunities in their proximity. And they often understand how their proximity is not fixed, but instead is flexible.

Creating
Designers, inventors, artists and creators of many kinds are very much aware of elements and relationships in their proximity. They know their awareness is a possible source of new or improved elements and relationships.
