Dissection to Direction Protocol – System Card

🗂️ Dissection-to-Direction (D2D) Protocol — System Card

Version: 1.0

Status: Draft

Last Updated: 2025-12-05

1. Purpose

The D2D Protocol provides a rigorous cognitive workflow for transforming:

raw material (notes, transcripts, studies, sources)

into clarified structure

into actionable insight

into final, publishable output.

This is the primary intellectual engine of DG Humana.

2. Structure

Phase 1 — Dissection

Break source material into analytical units:

Extract claims, concepts, assertions

Identify implied frameworks

Surface embedded assumptions

Decompose argument chains

Output: Raw Dissection Layer

Phase 2 — Distillation

Reduce each extracted unit to its essential meaning:

Remove rhetorical noise

Clarify ambiguities

Collapse redundancies

Identify contradictions

Output: Distilled Concept Layer

Phase 3 — Direction

Rebuild distilled units into a coherent structure:

Identify hierarchy and causal chains

Detect patterns and the “pressure points”

Generate insight (What follows? What breaks?)

Translate structure into formal outlines

Output: Directional Map / Argument Architecture

Phase 4 — Execution

Produce the final academic or strategic deliverable:

Paper, essay, analysis, system card, model, etc.

Validate coherence

Integrate citations

Archive all stages for reuse

Output: Final Manuscript + Full D2D Traceability Stack

3. Usage

The D2D Protocol is applied to:

academic studies

philosophical texts

sociotechnical articles

DG Humana internal memos

personal research logs

interdisciplinary synthesis tasks

It is mandatory for all DG Humana publications.

4. Version Notes

v1.0 — First public release.

Clean protocol breakdown with four-phase structure.
