Lesson

One thing worth learning, small enough to do in about ten minutes, taught so that someone can correct you while you learn it.

A lesson is the thing itself, not its packaging. It can be published in several shapes — a page, a card, a folder an agent loads — and each of those is a way of carrying a lesson, never the lesson. It ends in a practice you can do now and a sign you can see when it worked.

It is load-bearing because it is the unit at which the Pattern actually moves between people. A whole curriculum handed over at the door is a wall; one lesson handed over when you are about to need it is a door. Ten minutes is not a style choice: it is the largest thing a busy person will pick up between the rest of their life, and small enough that a house can correct it after one use. What a house learned the hard way, the next player learns in ten minutes.

A Player+ takes a lesson when the play asks for it, does the practice once as written before improving it, and then writes the one sentence naming where they got stuck and what would fix it. That sentence goes back to whoever gave them the lesson, and onward to whoever keeps it. The person who only reads a lesson has not taken it; the sign that it worked is something you can hold, say, or show.

Beside a lesson stand its neighbours in the settled language: lessons compose into a module, modules are met along a journey, and a lesson teaches toward a capability, which becomes capacity when it holds under a real moment, which a belt witnesses.
