Volume
Stage-Sensitive Design™
Designing anything — a course, a product, a policy — for the developmental range of the people who will actually meet it.
1 chapter · 14,942 words · Narrated
Most designed things silently assume a single meaning-making structure in their user, usually the designer's. When the assumption is wrong the thing does not fail visibly; it just works for some people and quietly does not for others, and the difference is attributed to motivation.
This volume makes the assumption explicit and designable: how to identify the range you are actually serving, how to build something that offers a real handhold at more than one altitude, and when the honest answer is to narrow the audience instead.

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.
