In the open
Wisdom Transmission Practices™
How something that took a life to learn gets across to somebody who has not lived it.
5 chapters · 59,452 words · Narrated · Still being written
Most of what a skilled practitioner knows is not propositional and does not survive being written down. It is transmitted, if at all, by proximity, by apprenticeship, by watching somebody handle a situation badly and then well — which is why so much accumulated wisdom is lost in a single generation when the forms that carried it stop being available.
This volume is about the forms: what actually transmits, what apprenticeship requires of both parties, the role of the unfinished demonstration, and the honest limits — the things that genuinely cannot be handed on and must be found again each time.

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.
