Current system: Functional but limited
Goal: Universal system that adapts to any corpus automatically
For each limitation: Multiple valid solution paths exist.
Limitation 1 (Hardcoded vars):
Limitation 2 (Fixed embeddings):
Limitation 3 (Manual tuning):
Post 781: If one solution exists, infinite solutions exist.
Applied here:
Pick paths. Implement. Test. Iterate.
Start simple. Add sophistication as needed.
Universal system is achievable through many paths.
Choose yours.
∞
Multiple paths to universalization. All valid. Choose by trade-offs.
