Source refs: `video:predictive-history-04ngqzyqgpw@transcript:v1#seg-0350` - definition: Jiang says the greatness of the Divine Comedy comes from truth and beauty, which move readers emotionally because the poem resonates with human experience. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-04ngqzyqgpw@transcript:v1#seg-0186`, `video:predictive-history-04ngqzyqgpw@transcript:v1#seg-0187` - definition: Students define art as something that shows and makes one feel an experience rather than merely describing it propositionally. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-04ngqzyqgpw@transcript:v1#seg-0345`, `video:predictive-history-04ngqzyqgpw@transcript:v1#seg-0346` - model: A student says resonance is what makes a work seem true: people believe it because they can feel themselves inside it. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-04ngqzyqgpw@transcript:v1#seg-0350` - definition: Another student says art changes a person by naming something previously unnameable inside them, producing recognition and resonance.

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.
