Legant Method Library

Read the current Method Reference first, then its supporting architecture detail and the frameworks or protocols relevant to your question. The Method Reference owns the architecture; the public Method page is an introduction.

These HTML pages contain the full text and need no JavaScript or sign-in. Equivalent Markdown is available for every document. For a substantive assessment, follow the detailed sources rather than stopping at the overview. The review guide explains how to challenge and cite the method.

Start here

• Method architecture detail — Supporting six-step and five-alignment detail beneath the Method Reference. Markdown
• Legant Method Library — Library entry point: reading order, map, authority and access rules. Markdown
• Legant Method Reference — Current detailed method reference: architecture, framework inventory, applied protocols, evidence status, lineage. Read this first for any substantive question. Markdown

• Innate Edge Discovery Sources — Index of discovery frameworks and inputs, with current vs legacy status. Markdown
• Tension Framework — Current Core Tension definition, evidence rules and boundaries. Markdown
• Innate Edge Clues — Current evidence-intake guide. Markdown
• AI-conversation prompts — current-version pointer — Optional prompt for extracting evidence with an LLM. Markdown

Development notes

• Development note: a personal navigation system — Emerging personal navigation system: Operating Manual, Baseline, operating instructions and decision-learning loop. First implementation in Chris’s own use; not a validated general standard. Markdown

Legacy (historical only; do not apply to new work)

• The V-V-V Focus Line Structure: Violation → Verb → Vision — LEGACY. Focus Line (Violation → Verb → Vision). Do not use for new work; replaced by the Operating Manual's What I choose answers (via the legacy Four Narrative Constraints). Markdown
• ARC Reference Index — Legacy Pointer — LEGACY. Pointer from the old ARC name to current Legant sources. Markdown
