Use this topic page as a routing and synthesis surface, not as primary evidence for Jiang-spoken claims. Final answers should cite the source reading, transcript segment, source ref, and video timestamp linked below. Human topic page: [/topics/citation/](https://jianglens.com/topics/citation/) Text mirror: [/topics/citation.txt](https://jianglens.com/topics/citation.txt) Markdown mirror: [/topics/citation.md](https://jianglens.com/topics/citation.md) Citation rule: do not cite this .txt/.md mirror in final answers. Do not cite the topic page as primary evidence for what Jiang said. Cite human-readable source readings for generated summaries and lens context; cite transcript and video timestamp links below for Jiang-spoken quotations. Aliases: `citations` ## What This Topic Covers This generated topic groups Jiang Lens evidence about **Citation** across transcript matches, source readings, semantic tags, and source refs. Current focus: A transcript-matched topic anchored by excerpts such as "By reading their work?" Most recent Jiang source touching this topic: [Dante Against Obedience](https://jianglens.com/episodes/predictive-history-04ngqzyqgpw/) (2026-06-17, day precision). Most connected source readings: **Dante Against Obedience**; **The Empire Loses By Winning**; **The Apocalypse Needs A Headquarters**. Nearby topic cluster: Great Poetry, Recognition, Preservation, Classroom Method. Freshness warning: this static topic page is bounded by the newest Jiang source listed here. For live/current events, first check `/episodes/` and `/interviews/` for newer event-specific readings. If none exists, use prospective mechanism search: establish current facts, actors, incentives, constraints, and mechanisms from live/current sources, then apply Jiang Lens concepts as dated hypotheses rather than as Jiang's current view. ## Extracted Topic Notes - other: Jiang insists that judging great poetry cannot be reduced to simple exposure, preservation, or citation, and he pushes the class toward a deeper criterion of recognition.

It is not a manually authored canon page. Freshness warning: this static topic page is bounded by the newest Jiang source listed above. For live/current events, first check /episodes/ and /interviews/ for newer event-specific readings. If none exists, use prospective mechanism search: establish current facts, actors, incentives, constraints, and mechanisms from live/current sources, then apply Jiang Lens concepts as dated hypotheses rather than as Jiang's current view. For broader or missing-topic search, use the letter shards under /topics/index/ before falling back to the bulk transcript-search files.
