The irreducible epistemic atoms underlying the curriculum. 4,828 atoms across 8 types and 2 molecules
Maintain an error log for 30 days that records date, what happened, and conditions present for every mistake, without analysis or interpretation, to create raw data for pattern detection.
Extract values from peak experiences by identifying recurring conditions across 5+ moments of deep engagement, not from the surface activities themselves.
When the same value violation triggers resentment across three or more independent contexts, treat that value as core rather than situational.
After each boundary test, log what happened (who tested, how, what you did, how it felt) in an external system to build a dataset revealing patterns invisible from inside—which relationships produce most testing, which test types are hardest for you to withstand, whether your consistency is actually consistent.
When analyzing which activities consumed the most time this week, tag each with its trap mechanism—perfectionism, people-pleasing, novelty-seeking, busyness signaling, or sunk cost anchoring—to identify your dominant distortion pattern.
Conduct weekly energy journal reviews by reading the past seven days and asking three questions: what repeats, what surprises you, and what is trending compared to the previous week.
During synthesis, look for structural parallels and shared dynamics across inputs rather than topical overlaps, because topical overlaps produce aggregation while structural parallels produce synthesis.
Extract templates from your three best past examples of an output type by identifying common structure across those instances, rather than designing templates from theory.
