## Extracted Topic Notes

- model: A student's proposed 'contract of duty' shows that this bad love tries to convert affection into entitlement or obligation. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-or3eow52wcc@transcript:v1#seg-0232`
- definition: The class distinguishes graft from simple greed by tying it to entitlement and misuse of position rather than only desire for a particular object like money.

- diagnosis: Students and Jiang agree that Dante treats the nobility as entitled and fundamentally bad rather than as a healthy ruling class. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-p82v6uac9ss@transcript:v1#seg-0337`, `video:predictive-history-p82v6uac9ss@transcript:v1#seg-0340`

## Retrieval Notes

This file is generated from Jiang Lens episode JSON, semantic tags, glossary terms, source refs, and transcript segment matches. 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.
