- The course project of using present models and predictions to reinterpret the past behind official school history. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-ajfxykt9joo@transcript:v1#seg-0005`
- other: The next class is identified as the last class and will discuss Pax Judaica as the culmination of these trends. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-zprecjhuous@transcript:v1#seg-0161`
- model: The class is framed as training imagination rather than transmitting facts: students build analytical models, test them by prediction, and then use them to reinterpret the past.

- diagnosis: The 'secret history' project begins from the premise that school history is a power-implanted system and that understanding manipulation is the route to liberation. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-ajfxykt9joo@transcript:v1#seg-0005`
- model: Jiang says monotheism is the revolution in human thought that produced money, the individual, and the nation-state and thereby created the modern world. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-ajfxykt9joo@transcript:v1#seg-0091`, `video:predictive-history-ajfxykt9joo@transcript:v1#seg-0092`

- diagnosis: Jiang reads the Secret History account of Genghis Khan as suspiciously mythic because it follows the same structure as other Proto-Indo-European founding stories. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-mpqzapnjykm@transcript:v1#seg-0017`, `video:predictive-history-mpqzapnjykm@transcript:v1#seg-0018`, `video:predictive-history-mpqzapnjykm@transcript:v1#seg-0020`
