## Extracted Topic Notes

- model: Jiang says Dante turns the humility carvings into a movie in his head, implying that purification begins when art becomes narratively and imaginatively alive inside the viewer. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-mdok9qaaa7q@transcript:v1#seg-0438`
- model: Jiang accepts technical analysis and perspective-switching as part of art's effect: viewers do not just receive the image but move between the artist's position and their own. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-mdok9qaaa7q@transcript:v1#seg-0449`, `video:predictive-history-mdok9qaaa7q@transcript:v1#seg-0450`
- definition: Jiang names the relation between artist and viewer co-creation: the artwork provides a reality and the viewer's imagination makes that reality more vivid and dynamically alive. Source refs: `video:predictive-history-mdok9qaaa7q@transcript:v1#seg-0465`, `video:predictive-history-mdok9qaaa7q@transcript:v1#seg-0466`

## 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.
