From Definition to Recognition
You now have a definition sturdy enough to carry forward.
But a definition alone does not change perception. Most defaults are not hidden by secrecy; they are hidden by familiarity. They blend into “how things are” so completely that they stop registering as a structure that could have been otherwise.
As you enter the Core, carry one question. When an outcome repeats, what is being assumed, what is being pre-filled, and what is being quietly made expensive to refuse?
That is the shift: from knowing the word to seeing the shape.
