The seam
You don't learn concepts.
You learn where they collide.
Here's one — from inside an AI agent. Guess what happens, then watch your model collide with what really runs.
two-turn chat
Turn 1 — you tell the model: "My name is Maya." Turn 2 — you ask it: "What's my name?"
How does it know your name in turn 2?
The method
Three beats, every lesson
Predict
Commit to what the code does before you run it — your model, on the line.
Collide
Run it on the real runtime. Where your guess and reality split is the seam.
Transfer
Repair the model and carry it into the next case, so the fix actually sticks.
Build your own collision
Drag two ideas together
Where they touch is the seam. Drag a token into each slot — or just tap to place. Only real collisions light up.
