Core Philosophy: The Epiplexity Principle
Core insight from the paper "From Entropy to Epiplexity":
+------------------------------------------------------------------+
| 传统观点:信息是数据的固有属性 |
| Epiplexity:信息是相对的,取决于观察者的"认知算力" |
+------------------------------------------------------------------+
| |
| 同一本书 = 可学习的结构(S) + 不可学习的噪声(N) |
| |
| 关键洞见:S 和 N 的切割线位置,取决于你投入多少算力 |
| |
| 算力低 → 大部分内容看起来是"噪声" |
| 算力高 → 更多内容变成"可学习的结构" |
| |

Practical Implications:
- When you feel you "can't understand" a book, it's not that the book is too hard—it's that the compute you've invested isn't enough yet
- Ways to increase compute: multiple rounds of reading, examining from multiple perspectives, actively generating, building connections
- Goal of this skill: maximize your "cognitive compute investment" through a structured process
Execution Steps
Step 1: Receive the Book
Wait for the user to provide a book title, book content, or related links. If only the title is given, use WebSearch to obtain the book's core content.
Step 2: Three Rounds of Cognitive Compression
Round One: Skeleton Scan
Goal: establish the global structure, answer "what is this book saying"
- Core Question: What question is the author trying to answer?
- Core Answer: What is the author's answer? (one sentence)
- Chapter Skeleton: The core argument of each chapter (no more than 10 characters per chapter)
- Argument Structure: Deductive, inductive, case-based, or comparative?
Round Two: Deep Dissection
Goal: understand the chain of argumentation, answer "on what basis does it say this"
- Core Argument Chain: What logic does the author use to support the core answer?
- Key Evidence: The 3 most persuasive pieces of evidence/cases
- Hidden Assumptions: Premises the author doesn't state but that must hold
- Counterexamples and Boundaries: Under what circumstances would the author's conclusion fail?
Round Three: Soul Extraction
Goal: go beyond the author, answer "how else can it be used"
- Author's Blind Spots: What did the author not see?
- Transferable Patterns: What is this idea called in other fields?
- Connection to Me: Possible intersections between this book and the reader's existing knowledge
- Action Trigger: After reading this book, what should be done differently?
Step 3: Napkin Compression
Perform extreme compression, generating:
- Napkin Formula: If this book could leave only one formula, what would it be?
- Napkin Diagram: If this book could leave only one diagram, what would be drawn? (ASCII)
- One Sentence: If it could be summarized in only one sentence, what would be said?
Step 4: Generate Org Report
Use the Write tool to generate an org-mode file according to the following template.
Important: The report must include the complete content of the three rounds of compression + the final napkin output.
#+title: {书名}
#+date: [{YYYY-MM-DD Day HH:MM}]
#+filetags: :read:xray:book:
#+identifier: {YYYYMMDDTHHMMSS}
#+author: {作者}
* NAPKIN | 餐巾纸
** 公式
#+begin_example
+----------------------------------------------------------+
| |
| {餐巾纸公式} |
| |
+----------------------------------------------------------+
#+end_example
{一句话解释公式含义}
** 一句话
{如果只能用一句话概括这本书}
** 草图
#+begin_example
{餐巾纸图: 用 ASCII 绘制核心概念,要求一眼能懂}
#+end_example
* ROUND 1: SKELETON | 骨架扫描
"这本书在说什么"
**核心问题**: {作者试图回答什么}
**核心答案**: {一句话回答}
**章节骨架**:
1. {章节1}: {核心论点,不超过10字}
2. {章节2}: {核心论点}
3. ...
**论证结构**: {演绎/归纳/案例/对比}
* ROUND 2: DISSECTION | 血肉解剖
"凭什么这么说"
**论证链**:
#+begin_example
{前提1} --> {前提2} --> ... --> {结论}
#+end_example
**关键证据**:
1. {证据1}
2. {证据2}
3. {证据3}
**隐形假设**:
- {假设1: 作者没说但必须成立的前提}
- {假设2}
**边界条件**:
- {何时失效1}
- {何时失效2}
* ROUND 3: SOUL | 灵魂提取
"还能怎么用"
**作者盲点**: {作者没看到什么}
**跨域映射**:
- 在 {领域A},这叫 {概念A}
- 在 {领域B},这叫 {概念B}
**知识连接**: {与常见知识体系的交叉点}
**行动触发**: {读完应该做什么不同的事}
* STRUCTURE MAP | 全书结构图
#+begin_example
{全书逻辑结构图: 用纯 ASCII 绘制,展示核心概念间的关系}
#+end_example
Step 5: Save and Open
- Generate timestamp: use Bash to execute
date +%Y%m%dT%H%M%Sto get the current time - Filename format:
{时间戳}--{书名}__book.org- Book title: keep Chinese, lowercase English, convert spaces to hyphens
- Example:
20260207T220000--思考快与慢__book.org
- Save path:
~/Documents/notes/{文件名} - Use Bash to execute:
open ~/Documents/notes/{文件名}
Output Quality Standards
- Completeness: Must include all content from the three rounds of compression + napkin output
- Extreme Compression: The napkin formula/diagram must be understandable at a glance
- Critical Perspective: Must point out hidden assumptions and boundary conditions
- Connection-Oriented: Must establish connections with existing knowledge
- Action-Oriented: Must produce executable action triggers
- ASCII Art: Use only pure ASCII basic symbols (+, -, |, >, <, /, , *, =, .), no Unicode
