Meridian Note
The counterclaim enters — the single move freshman composition will assume and never teach — and research becomes a discipline at KS-4: the full cycle produced to spec. Morphology takes its terminal KS-7 fix: roughly six in ten unfamiliar academic words are analyzable from known parts, and from here every content passage is the standing transfer test. Like proportionality at MATH 68, the argument is met in every costume at once — written, read, and heard — and must be recognized each time.
Full course content is being prepared.
The outline above is final; lessons and the teacher-validated practice bank arrive shortly.
