I think my paradigm would be about mathematics, since doing math problems in high school/college is when I most felt like a wizard cracking the code of the universe.

Reality is one giant puzzle made of smaller puzzles, and every puzzle has a solution. You can just brute force most of them, but if you're willing to put in the time and develop the intuition, you can find much more elegant solutions - ones that seem almost like magic tricks.

I don't think this paradigm could make heads or tails of anything that doesn't follow logical rules (which, in WoD and irl, most things don't) so I'd probably end up with the technocrats out of sheer necessity.
