[VERIFY: This post should be written AFTER month 2 of publication, not before. It’s a retrospective on which concepts landed with readers, which ones needed clarification, and which ones shifted from their original definitions. Placeholder structure below. Fill with real observations when the time comes.]

A month into the curriculum. Seven vocabulary words introduced. Dozens of posts applying them across domains. Here’s what I’ve noticed.

What held: [To be filled with actual observations about which concepts readers engaged with, which ones got cited back, which ones sparked conversation.]

What shifted: [To be filled with any vocabulary that needed refinement based on how readers interpreted it versus how it was intended.]

What surprised me: [To be filled with unexpected connections readers made, domains they applied the concepts to that I hadn’t considered.]

What I got wrong: [To be filled with any claims or framings that didn’t survive contact with readers who work in the domains I referenced.]

This is a drift check on the curriculum itself. The syllabus is a plan. The plan meets reality. Reality pushes back. The re-grounding post is where I reconcile the plan with what actually happened.

The structure of these posts is the same as the reconciliation agent. Check the documentation against reality. Where they disagree, flag it. Decide what to update. The documentation in this case is the master syllabus. The reality is how the published posts landed.
