Core Argument

Six-category taxonomy of creative-practice techniques the framework organizes around the diagnostic question which problem is the practice solving. Source for the five creative-practice concept pages and the structural-practices section folded into the hub.

Key Contributions

• Six categories: Heat Practices (creative pressure), Soul Practices (receptive channeling), Daimon Practices (craft mastery), Metabolic Practices (creative foundation), Alchemical Practices (trauma transmutation), Structural Practices (order building).
• Per-category: when-to-use diagnostics, when-NOT-to-use conditions, specific techniques with operational protocols.
• The framework's harder reading: most contemporary writers adopt techniques randomly without understanding which problem each solves; the category-as-diagnostic supplies precision.
• Metabolic Practices treated as substrate the other five operate on.

Limitations

• Substantive operational protocols depend on practitioner accurately self-diagnosing which problem applies; self-flattery in diagnosis is the unmentioned failure mode.
• Alchemical Practices most clinically charged; when-NOT-to-use conditions presented as diagnostic gates without engagement with trauma-aware clinical literature.
• Structural Practices section thinner than the other five.
