Getting started
Learning the script can retrace the path by which it was made. If this is your first visit, read these four steps; each takes about ten minutes.
1. The position
Characters were designed; their rationale can be recovered and taught; how we keep position and evidence apart.
If you are a learner
Start with course level L0; ask the AI study assistant when stuck — its answers say whether their source has been reviewed.
If you teach
Read the curriculum and the family unit first: seven levels, five thinking primitives, seven design axioms, and the four-stage order common reading → design reading → ablation → transfer.
If you do research
Three layers, two tracks, falsifiable tests and the anti-circularity gate; the database and data resources.
Three conventions for reading this site
- Common and design readings are kept apart. The common reading is the accepted understanding, the design reading the recovered rationale; outer and inner, they do not contradict each other.
- Epistemic labels travel with the text. “Axiom” marks a premise of the system, “Measured” names what was measured, “Planned” work is not done yet.
- Review status. Every design reading is marked reviewed, pending or candidate; candidates and AI-generated content are kept out of exercises and tests and must not be cited as settled.
