## Extracted Topic Notes

- model: Poetry works by being memorized, entering the reader like a virus, creating cognitive dissonance, and remaking the reader's perception over decades. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-4ezurgpgaos@transcript:v1#seg-0005`, `video:predictive-history-4ezurgpgaos@transcript:v1#seg-0006`
- model: Dante naming Dido is an act of rebellion against Virgil as father, guide, and teacher because Dante refuses to inherit Virgil's erasure. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-4ezurgpgaos@transcript:v1#seg-0045`, `video:predictive-history-4ezurgpgaos@transcript:v1#seg-0046`
- normative: Naming Dido resurrects her in memory and shows that it was wrong for Virgil both to condemn her and then ignore her. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-4ezurgpgaos@transcript:v1#seg-0046`, `video:predictive-history-4ezurgpgaos@transcript:v1#seg-0047`
- model: Jiang says poetry works by entering memory and creating paradox or cognitive dissonance that remakes the reader over time. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-6m1z-v3wgok@transcript:v1#seg-0005`, `video:predictive-history-6m1z-v3wgok@transcript:v1#seg-0006`
- model: Jiang says Dante naming Dido is an act of rebellion against Virgil and a way to resurrect Dido in memory. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-6m1z-v3wgok@transcript:v1#seg-0047`, `video:predictive-history-6m1z-v3wgok@transcript:v1#seg-0048`
- definition: Religion is defined here as a long-lost memory of the ancient past told through myths and stories, containing truth because it encodes historical and personal experience. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-xrmerlhuqbk@transcript:v1#seg-0044`
- diagnosis: Dido's appeal to the pledge sealed by right hands alludes to the Odyssey's bond between Odysseus and Penelope, where a shared memory keeps hearts joined across distance. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-yxtrlvfirt8@transcript:v1#seg-0018`, `video:predictive-history-yxtrlvfirt8@transcript:v1#seg-0019`
- model: Pallas functions as Patroclus in the Aeneid's inverted Iliad analogy, giving Aeneas the memory-token that shifts him from pity into rage. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-yxtrlvfirt8@transcript:v1#seg-0057`, `video:predictive-history-yxtrlvfirt8@transcript:v1#seg-0058`
