Source refs: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0381` - model: Jiang concludes from Dante and Genesis that humans are different because they have a soul breathed directly by God, as shown in the special creation of Adam. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0386` - definition: Jiang defines the soul as God putting a part of himself into humans. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-pscxuhprwq8@transcript:v1#seg-0390` - model: Jiang restates his model that God creates the laws of the universe, those laws generate everything including evolution and human bodies, and human uniqueness begins only where God directly touches humans by putting part of himself into them.

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.
