Luminous Constructive Development™: Subject-Object and the Evolution of Meaning
One move, taken on its own: what it costs a person when meaning itself reorganises.
4 chapters · 39,736 words · Still being written
The theory stated is elegant. The experience is not, and this volume stays with the experience — that every developmental move is a loss before it is a gain, that the structure being outgrown was load-bearing, and that the period between losing one and having the next is where people leave jobs, marriages and traditions, often for reasons they misidentify at the time.
Four chapters on the subject-object move itself rather than on the whole sequence: what it feels like from inside, why it cannot be hurried, and what actually helps somebody in the middle of one. Read the principal volume, Luminous Constructive Development™, for the theory in full.

Elsewhere in the Canon
How this book was made. Many volumes in this house were written with machine assistance. That is the author's declared working method, not a thing found out later, and the practice is itself a published paper with a DOI — Externalized Cognition: A Developmental Theory of Human–AI Co-Creation. The argument, the judgement and the name on the cover are the author's.
