Library
A working library for practice in motion.
This is where the project becomes useful: notes from live experiments, methods that are still improving, and small tools for turning curiosity into practice.
The working library
A library that feels alive.
Less archive, more workbench: the books, signs, notes, and practices active right now.
From attention to trust
Follow the work as it becomes useful.
The library starts with the visible shelf: what Martin and Erika are reading, what they are practicing, and the small signals worth saving before they become polished notes.

Shelves
What belongs inside.
The library should stay selective. Everything here needs to connect back to a real practice.
Shelf 01
Current experiments
What Martin and Erika are testing now, while the method is still warm.
Shelf 02
Reading protocols
Ways to read for action: pace, notes, recall, transfer, and what to skip.
Shelf 03
Practice notes
Small observations from tango, Mandarin, AI, body, habits, and the links between them.
Shelf 04
Useful tools
Prompts, templates, and tiny systems that make learning easier to repeat.
Before it becomes a note
Three honest questions.
Did it change a real practice?
A note belongs here when it moved something outside the note itself.
Can someone try it this week?
The library should make the next step smaller, clearer, and more testable.
Does it reveal transfer?
The best pieces show one practice quietly changing another.
