Desired Outcome#

Document the polyphonic design review methodology that emerged during the medicine-wheel-pi session (2026-03-25) as a formal contribution to the article's METHODS.md.

Current Reality#

METHODS.md now contains:

• Polyphonic design review definition (GUILLAUME::/MIA::/AVA::/MIETTE:: voices)
• Protocol for multi-perspective annotation
• Kinship connections (Wilson Ch.6, PDE, STC, coaia-narrative, medicine-wheel-pi)
• Wilson Ch.2 pp.39-40 grounding (methodology/strategy/methods distinction)
• Structural tension framing
• Example reference: .mw/east/f70fbb0d-* (original + annotated PDE)

What Emerged#

During a PDE decomposition session, agent-pi's show_file opened the PDE in a browser. Guillaume clicked 'Open in VSCode' and annotated with GUILLAUME::/MIA:: voice markers. This was not designed — it emerged from the tools and the paradigm.

Wilson: 'if one starts from an Indigenous paradigm, then one can choose to use any tool from within that paradigm that may be effective.'

Connection to Article PDE#

The article's own PDE session (.pde/2603250912__acb500e8-7958-4b5b-b43a-e8db8e28fb0f/CLAUDE.md) describes this entire trajectory: agent-pi discovery → medicine-wheel-pi → chain design → PDE viewer aspiration. The METHODS.md contribution closes the loop — the method the article describes IS the method being used to write it.
