Key Notes
model
Jiang says the punishment fits because grafters repeatedly choose the worse outcome, preferring another impossible try at escape over accepting the lesser pain already assigned to them.
model
He describes the punishment as eternal repetition: the sinner is torn apart, re-forms in the pitch, and immediately resumes the same delusion of getting away next time.
diagnosis
Jiang argues the sinner's impulse is not genuine freedom-seeking but an addictive need to prove he is smarter than everyone else by cheating them again.

diagnosis
The poet's truth-telling is compulsory: a fire burns inside the poet and must be released or the poet will be unable to sleep, eat, breathe, or survive the pressure.
