    This paper expertly and delicately extracts the combinatorial principles underlying some recent structural results about compact space of countable tightness that were shown to hold in ``the Cohen model''. By doing so the authors are able to strengthen some of those results as well as considerably simplify the proofs. For many readers the more coherent and straightforward presentation will be more important than the actual combinatorial principle -- which may not be in final form. The combinatorial principle is roughly that there are many \(\aleph_1\)-sized collections of sets of ordinals that closely approximate every \(\aleph_1\)-sized subset of their union.
