How to learn from this system
Default mode: path first
- Open the next incomplete module in
01-path/ - Read one minute → core teaching → must-get
- Open concept pages only when a term blocks you
- Answer check questions in
07-working-notes/ - Skim the linked claims and restate them in your own words
- Mark the module done on
_progress.mdonly when you can teach the idea in ~60 seconds
Session recipes
| Session | Length | Do this |
|---|---|---|
| A | 45–60 min | One path module + 1–2 concept lookups |
| B | 20 min | Rewrite 1–2 claims in plain language |
| C | 20–40 min optional | One talk from the beginner playlist or one application page |
| Weekly | 30 min | One application experiment note |
Core first pass order: M01 → M02 → M03 → M04 → M05 → M06 → M07 → M08
When stuck
| Symptom | Move |
|---|---|
| Words without understanding | Rewrite the claim + one example |
| Everything links to everything | Stay on the path module; ignore side links |
| “Did she actually say this?” | Follow source anchors on the claim page |
| “Why should I care?” | Open one page in 04-applications/ then return |
| Overwhelmed | Re-read only the module’s Must-get bullets |
Stop rules
- Do not create new concept pages mid-first-pass
- Do not jump to precursor philosophers until after M08
- Do not open the full research REPORT until you’ve finished M03 (optional) or M08 (recommended)
Success criterion (exit ticket)
You can explain, without notes:
- Why efficient causality fails for intentional action
- What an enabling constraint is (with example)
- How context changes identity/coherence
- One practical implication for organizations or design
Then expand freely into concepts, talks, and books.
