Kintsugi Zuihitsu
Kintsugi (金継ぎ), the art of golden repair, transforms brokenness into beauty by highlighting fractures with precious metal rather than hiding them. Zuihitsu (随筆), meaning “following the brush,” represents the Japanese literary form of spontaneous, personal reflection that flows naturally from thought to thought.
This vault embodies both concepts: kintsugi in how it transforms scattered thoughts and broken learning attempts into a unified golden network of knowledge, and zuihitsu in its organic, wandering structure that follows curiosity rather than rigid categorization.
The structure separates transparent knowledge that can be shared publicly from protected development requiring privacy, while maintaining natural connections between all areas of exploration.
To-Do List
- Starting with mth3006 - exam soon! -, go through previous modules, completing notes and problems sets; perhaps with custom AI agents within VS Code. Then, create/refine their respective cheat sheet(s).
- Complete notes for yatagarasu & tasks on the yatagarasu Kanban board.
- Apply to the Lincoln Summer Teacher Training.
- Complete a Lean proof for mth3011, and any other associated module work before the next meeting with my supervisor - confirm date, too!
- Make a Kanban board for Kintsugi Zuihitsu, like Yatagarasu (and then maybe an easy way to switch between them).
- Redo budgets (etc.) on Revolut, incl. joint account and new savings/taxes etc.
- Continue development on FFMS for Kuebiko & combine with a schedule generator (that objectively scores/weights daily activities to optimise).
- Change flashcard syntax within Kintsugi Zuihitsu from == to ** globally and then update the Obsidian settings for the new cloze format.
