I believe I’m one of the people who commented on your strong focus on using the Double Framework recently, but on reflection I think can clarify my thoughts. I think generally there’s a lot to be said for sticking to the framework as explicitly formulated until you learn how to do the thing reliably and there’s a big failure mode of thinking you can skip to the post-formal stage. I think you’re right to push on this.
The complication is that I think the Double-Crux framework is still nascent (at least in common knowledge; I believe Eli has advanced models and instincts, but those are hard to communicate and absorb), which means I see us being in a phase of “figuring out how to do Double-Crux right” where the details of the framework are fuzzy and you might be missing pieces, parts of the algorithm, etc.
The danger is then that if you’re too rigid in sticking to your current conception of what the formal framework of Double-Crux, you might lack the flexibility to see where you’re theory is failing in practice, and you need to update what you think Double-Crux even should be.
I perceive something a shift (could be wrong here) where after some conversations you started paying more attention to the necessity of model-sharing as a component of Double-Crux as maybe a preliminary stage to find cruxes, and this wasn’t emphasized before. That’s the kind of flexibility I think is need to realize when the current formalization is insufficient and deviation from it is warranted as part of the experimentation/discovery/development/learning/testing/etc.
