Bound by Lines
Imagine a dog on a leash in a park. It can run, play, and explore—but only within the radius the leash allows. These are constraints: limitations or restrictions that define boundaries.
The word comes from Latin con- (together) + stringere (to bind)—literally "to bind together." Constraints don't just limit—they shape, guide, and often enable creativity by defining what's possible.
