Each entry is a standalone page. Pages update independently. The registry auto-publishes daily at 7am CT. Each failure becomes a case study. Each pattern becomes a framework.

🔴 Problem Case Studies

Each follows the antifragile loop: detect → classify → trace root cause → fix at the right abstraction level → update governance. Real production data.

🧠 Framework Quick Reference
Full details →

Rooted in Einstein’s Axiom (“solve at a higher level than created”), Toyota 5 Whys (trace backward), First Principles (Aristotle/Musk), Systems Thinking (Meadows leverage points), and Nassim Taleb’s Antifragility. Jason’s synthesis adds the STRIKE system — forced abstraction climbing when fixes don’t hold.

FrameworkWhenThe Prompt
Domino ThinkingPrioritizing“What’s the ONE thing that makes 3+ others unnecessary?”
Abstraction ClimbingFix didn’t hold“What CREATES the input that fails?”
Core Truth AnchoringStarting any project“WHY — PROBLEM — CASCADE — ANTI-GOALS — TEST”
Decision GateGo/no-go“Domino? Cascade? Root cause? Breaks if skip? Enough info? Reversible?”
Antifragile LoopAny failure“Strike 1=patch, 2=trace up, 3=redesign, 5=halt+publish”
Surface EverythingMarking done“Can Jason find this on phone in 30 seconds?”
Cascade MappingAny decision“[Action] → enables [?] → compounds [?]. Skip 30d: breaks?”
Fix at SourceRecurring problem“Fix the machine, not the inspector.”
Meta-ClimbSolving one instance“Level above where I solve ALL instances with one move?”
