Study and practice¶

This is a study outline. A complete practice sequence is not yet available.

• ranking
• curation
• novelty
• coherence
• slop detection
• provenance
• style convergence

Paired comparison & ranking¶

Reconstruct -> compare -> make -> critique -> revise -> defend.

Curation under abundance¶

Reconstruct -> compare -> make -> critique -> revise -> defend.

AI slop, convergence & provenance¶

Reconstruct -> compare -> make -> critique -> revise -> defend.

Specification and revision of generated artifacts¶

Reconstruct -> compare -> make -> critique -> revise -> defend.

Intended demonstration¶

100-output curation + blind ranking + revision spec

This describes the intended standard, not a validated assessment or a claim of mastery.

Reading options¶

Assigned readings, where available, appear in the practice sequence above. These additional recommendations are not all required reading.
