Where the readings stand

State of the Readings

Every chapter already carries all five lens readings — generating them was the fast part. The slow, valuable part is a human deciding which are true to the chapter. This page tracks that: for each of the 405 chapter×lens readings, how settled it is and when a person last sat with it.

There is no “finished” state here, by design — the most settled a reading gets is stable, which still means revisable. The site reads its own source back to itself: the Tao that can be fixed in words is not the eternal Tao. A reading with no entry yet reads honestly as draft — not yet reviewed.
