Incremental reclamation
the systematic process of gradually reclaiming cognitive authority by starting with low-stakes, low-friction domains and building mastery experiences before advancing to higher-stakes domains
Why This Is a Definition
This definition precisely captures the methodological approach described in the lesson. It identifies the key distinguishing features: gradual progression, strategic selection of starting domains (low stakes and low friction), and the purpose of building mastery experiences. It establishes the precise boundary of what constitutes 'incremental reclamation' versus the alternative of dramatic, simultaneous reclamation.
