The concept the OP may be looking for is Aristotle's Techne.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Techne

In the things you do in your life, you are either a spectator or a participant, and if you are just a critic of something, you are a spectator. Really good seats don't make you a participant either. Physical competence is a different way of relating to the world.

"What I cannot create, I do not understand." —Feynman

Francis Bacon established the same idea as the foundation of the scientific method in "Novum Organum."
