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

Version: 1.0

Status: Complete

Last Updated: 2025-11-14

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

AI system cards

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.
