SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? It diagnoses how a text is experienced as a trajectory—its rhythm, transitions, scale shifts, returns, and disorientation—rather than only evaluating its arguments or structure, revealing where the reader's movement through the work breaks down or succeeds. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Trajectory Analysis: Tracks orientation, temporal movement, density, perturbations, returns, and closure across the whole work through 26 structured diagnostic steps. - Structured Findings: Classifies each finding by phenomenological dimension, severity (A–E), confidence, and a concrete recommendation. - Counterfactual Tests: Uses controlled thought experiments (removing transitions, moving sections, changing endings) to distinguish productive difficulty from structural problems. - Use Case: A researcher revising a long-form essay on AI and cartography uses this Skill to verify that scale shifts and returning concepts transform meaning rather than confuse the reader. ## Quick Start Analyze the attached manuscript with the phenomenological-reading skill and report where the reader's trajectory loses orientation or gains productive disorientation.

FAQPage Schema
How do I analyze the reading experience of a long-form text?▼

Apply the phenomenological reading method by tracking orientation, temporal movement, density, returns, and closure across the work. The Skill walks through 26 diagnostic steps and outputs findings classified by dimension, severity, and confidence.

What is phenomenological reading of a text?▼

Phenomenological reading examines what a work makes the reader experience as they move through its conceptual field, including rhythm, transitions, disorientation, and retrospective transformation. It treats the trajectory as produced by textual structure, not purely subjective reaction.

Does this analysis require the text to be phenomenological philosophy?▼

No. The Skill explicitly states the work does not need to identify itself as phenomenological. It uses phenomenological reading as an analytical perspective applicable to any structured written work.

When should difficulty in a text be left unchanged?▼

Difficulty should remain when it reflects conceptual necessity, productive disorientation, or justified density. The Skill intervenes only when experience reveals missing conceptual support, broken trajectory, or unjustified scale transitions.

How does it distinguish productive disorientation from confusion?▼

It asks whether the reader eventually understands why a displacement occurred. If the displacement becomes intelligible, the disorientation is productive; if not, it is diagnosed as unnecessary opacity.
