I think it includes anything involving new knowledge: e.g. law, science/mathematics, invention. Maybe also in the academic Arts (I don't know enough to be sure), and also in the creative arts - painting, sculpture, writing (there's exploration and massive overruns there). Also, exploration in prospecting, oil discovery - though that's not really open-ended. OK, I think it's being able to open up/zoom into finer detail (like knowledge, recursive structures, fractal) + discovery.

Law, I'm not so sure. Any variations posed by new legal cases are still limited by the basics of human nature. Oil discovery? Don't think so. People may look in different places but they don't invent new ways of doing each project. The other examples are all art. (The practice of science itself is an art and not a science.) Is software an art?
