Teaching Modalities
Finding the Right Medium for CREATE SOMETHING: Compare the modalities yourself below.
Abstract
How do you teach a philosophy? This interactive paper lets you experience three distinct modalities. Try each one below. Engagement data is displayed locally only—no data is sent to our servers unless you enable tracking.
The Hypothesis
| Stage | Modality | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Awareness | Spritz | Fast absorption of core principles, memorable phrases |
| Understanding | Motion | Visual context, relationships, narrative structure |
| Mastery | Learn Platform | Deep practice, hands-on application, retention |
↓ Test each modality below ↓
Spritz: RSVP Speed Reading
Stage: Awareness • Fast absorption of principles
How It Works
Words appear one at a time. The Optimal Recognition Point (ORP) is highlighted—the letter your eye naturally focuses on. No scanning, no backtracking.
Best For
- Quick principle statements
- Video intro/transition screens
- Mantras and memorable phrases
Motion Studio: Canon Text Reveals
Stage: Understanding • Visual context and relationships
Canon Reveal Styles
decode— random chars resolve to meaningunconcealment— emerges from noise (Heidegger)typewriter— char-by-char with cursorthreshold— binary snap (Rams)mask— horizontal wipe reveal
Best For
- Complex concept explanations
- Data-driven narratives
- Walkthrough tutorials
Learn Platform: Interactive Paths
Stage: Mastery • Deep practice and retention
Terminal Mastery
The CLI is the cockpit
Master the command line as your primary interface.
Subtractive Design
Less, but better
Learn to design by removing what doesn't belong.
Agent Orchestration
AI as collaborator
Build AI-powered development workflows.
The Hermeneutic Spiral
Read → Practice → Reflect → Return. Each revisit deepens understanding. Learning is not linear; it spirals inward toward mastery.
Best For
- Deep skill building
- Hands-on Praxis exercises
- Long-term retention

Alignment with Subtractive Triad
DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself)
Same content, three presentations. The philosophy is written once, the modality adapts to context.
Dieter Rams
Each modality removes what isn't needed. Spritz removes eye movement. Motion removes static walls of text. Learn removes repetitive explanation.
Heidegger
The tool recedes into transparent use. When learning flows, you don't see the modality—you see understanding.
