Modern heuristics is defined as... "Of, relating to, or constituting an educational method in which learning takes place through discoveries that result from investigations made by the student."

In business we call it trial and error. A mostly unconscious journey from one event to another, picking up pieces of knowledge and experience both positive and negative.
