How a System Built for the Wrong Mind Constructs the âEvidenceâ Against Us
When I look back at the day they took the reading prize away â the panel, the disbelief, the humiliation â one truth is unmistakable:
They werenât measuring me.
They were measuring their own assumptions.
And that distinction matters, because Part II isnât just about my story anymore.
Itâs about the architecture that made my story inevitable.
This is where we shift from the wound to the system.
From personal rupture to structural logic.
From âwhat happened to meâ to âwhat happens to all of us.â
Part II is the anatomy lesson â the dissection of a machine that never had the range to perceive gestalt cognition. The system didnât just misread me; it produced the misread. It was engineered for it.
To tell this truth, we have to understand the science behind the mismeasurement â the paradigm, the tools, the biases, the metrics, the epistemology.
This is where lived experience and academic theory meet each other with equal authority.
