Dedication (glossary entry)
Dedication is a product of commitment and ownership, and shares the qualities (and pitfalls) of both. See those articles for full details.
Here is the text from the 1990s Legacy Game:

This led to the building, inventing, and creation of complex things that had no obvious or immediate point, except in their completion, and even then perhaps only to the visionary.

The great inventions, works of art, and revolutionary ideas all originated with men of vision and DEDICATION.
