I notice THREE different ways 'vision' arises:
(i) From circumstances [Sometimes, visions seem to arise from one's
(biological, psychological, natural, or social) circumstances. For
example, the vision of some human beings to create a flying machine.]
(ii) From Imposed constraints [Sometimes, visions become visible when some
constrainst are imposed. For example, a business organisation can impose a
constraint on its members: do whatever you like as long as you serve the
company's interest. Some corporate visions seem to become visible in this
fashion.]
(iii) From self-organisation [Sometimes, new visions seem to arise when a
number of existing visions interact in a certain way. The vision of
creating a new nation might be visualised in this fashion.]
I stop here to have your thoughts.

PS: Some of you will notice the similarity with how reality is construed
[or is treated] in classical mechanics, statistical mechanics, and
complexity theory.
