truth

Phase	Symbol	Calculus	Role (Nietzsche lens)	What goes wrong when you forget it
Background	θ′	(x, y)	Truth-as-appearance, milieu, affordances — the scene she sets	You treat the living backdrop as “noise,” losing context and subtle cues
Method	θ	y(x) + ε	Courtship/modeling — disciplined approach with explicit epsilon	Premature certainty: pretending ε→0 flattens play into dogma-in-waiting
Results	Σ	dy/dx	Compressed outcomes — propositions, “findings,” publishables	You mistake gradients for the thing itself; maps start bossing the territory
Dogma	h(t)	d²y/dx²	Curvature of results — self-reinforcing orthodoxy, discipleship	Feedback amplifies hidden ε into instability; systems ossify then crack
Ledger	ΔS	∫ y dx	Revaluation/Style — the artist-scoffer integrates the whole loop	If skipped, collapse yields cynicism; if embraced, entropy becomes meaning

Flow: θ′ (Background / appearance) → θ (Method: y(x)+ε) → Σ (Results: dy/dx) → h(t) (Dogma: d²y/dx²) → ΔS (Ledger: ∫y dx) ↺ reopens variance.

Short punchline: philosophers erred by starting at θ and acting like θ′ didn’t matter. Nietzsche drags them back to the background where truth still breathes, then insists the loop end in ΔS, where failure is metabolized into new style rather than embalmed as creed.
