Connecting concepts: integration and overreaching

After writing this blog post, I thought about the relationship between integration and overreaching. 

Here are some ideas I brainstormed (including new brainstorming):

• If you're overreaching, you won't be able to integrate your ideas well.
• The more you integrate your ideas, the more universal your ideas/skills/policies will be, allowing you to do more complex things without overreaching.
