Methods/ Codebook runs when asked codebook@1

The codebook

The library’s own questions, grown from its passages: each turn finds what the codebook conflates, proposes a question to separate it, and keeps it only if the numbers say it earns a place.

The program

6 steps
  1. 1
    measure jev Jev · measuring the codebook

    the codebook asked of every passage; only what is new costs

    → writeslensreading
  2. 2
    pairs code code · finding what it conflates

    each passage with the one the codebook places nearest it

    readslensreading → writespairs
  3. 3
    friction jev Jev · checking friction

    does each close pair make the same move? close but different is where the codebook is blind

    readspairs → writesfriction
  4. 4
    propose frontier frontier · proposing questions

    questions that would separate the pairs that differ

    readslensfriction → writescandidates
  5. 5
    probe jev Jev · probing

    each candidate asked of every passage, and the gate’s numbers

    readsreadingcandidates → writesproposals
  6. 6
    adopt write code · adopting

    held for the owner (review), or adopted by the gate (auto)

    readsproposals → writesadopted
