Method
How this site works on itself
The method, its evidence, and the fourteen places the two disagree.
A protocol you cannot inspect is indistinguishable from a preference. These four documents
are published verbatim from context/, in the order they should be read — the
reconciliation second, not last, because the protocol is wrong in fourteen places and a
reader who stops after the first page has read the wrong thing.
The documents
Section titled “The documents”The reading protocol
The twelve-stage pipeline, as first written. Superseded in fourteen places — read the reconciliation next.
Reconciliation
Fourteen places the protocol and its own evidence disagree, and which side wins. Each row cites both.
Evidence — reading
What the research actually supports about reading a book and changing behaviour, with effect sizes and limits.
Evidence — reading with AI
Where an AI multiplies the learning, where it removes it, and the one rule that prevents most of the crutch effect.
What is NOT here
Section titled “What is NOT here”context/reader.md and context/books/ — who he is and what each book is for him — are
private and stay in the repository. context/source-rules.md, md-spec.md,
chapter-spine.md and book-spec.md are machine contracts rather than reading: they say
what a page must contain, not what is true.
