The two wholes

The owner’s words, 2026-09-08, asked what a line in Writing Standards §2 meant. The line said the closing whole carries what would change the page’s answer. His answer gave the definition the line had missed. The opening whole answers one or both of two questions: why is this important, and how is it related to something the reader already has, common knowledge or prior knowledge. The closing whole calls back to the entire piece, not to the topic.

What changed the same day. The line in §2 was rewritten to carry his definition. The template for saying what would change your mind moved off the closing whole and became the last part before it. The closing whole belongs to no template. The public page Five Writing Templates and the instrument Writing Templates were corrected to match, and the figure of the page shape was redrawn.

Two example readings on the public page were also cut, on his word that his research is the primary derivation and not the writer’s inference. The n=1 layer section on Dimensions of Learning had been named as the observation template at section size; it is a position with no observations listed under it. The five-question table on the same page had been named as the question template at page size; it poses diagnostic questions and does not play back an asked one. The observation template’s live example is now the journal entry The Context Problem. The question template has no live page yet.
