12 NOV 25 - Completed Phase IV on 103; commentary added and refined. This dōka relates to takemusu! Immunotherapy day-resting.
11 NOV 25 - Completed Phase IV on and retitled 102 based on kami-no-ku to shimo-no-ku fold, clear kireji cut, and kakarimusubi pairing; commentary added.
10 NOV 25 - Completed Phase IV on 101; commentary added.
09 NOV 25 - Pa<w|us>ing for design of rubber space-coyote no michibike; consider it a break and benefits [REDACTED]. Will resume phase IV on 100+ soon.
08 NOV 25 - Completed Phase III and IV on 42–45; commentary added; drafted images of rubber space-coyote no michibike.
07 NOV 25 - Completed Phase III and IV on 40–41; commentary added; paused to translate and expand on Magic of -Te Ki; drafted images of rubber space-coyote no michibike.
06 NOV 25 - Completed Phase III and IV on 36–39; commentary added; started “the ‘magic’ of -te ki” article (Space-Coyote, 2026).
05 NOV 25 - Completed Phase III and IV on 35; commentary added.

03 NOV 25 - Returned from Vancouver Island, BC; completed 30–32 Phase III and Phase IV; commentaries added; started Phase III and IV on 33.
28 OCT 25 - Treatment day; Phase III and IV completion on 28 and 29; commentaries added. There is a bug in the editor stacking <strong/> tags on edits; this will be fixed after Phase IV. Leaving to Vancouver Island, BC soon.
27 OCT 25 - Phase III and IV completion on 18—27; commentaries added including note about orthogonality (again); Japanese word for perpendicular also means vertical, resulting in “lossy” compression of integral recursive/iterative perpendicularity principle.
26 OCT 25 - Phase III and IV completion on 12—17; including commentaries. Working Coleman boat model pre-democracy (emperor as sovereign) includes macro kokutai (国体) → meso bujutsu lineage (武道血統) → micro daily posture/attitude (日常的な姿勢・態度) → 武道血統 → 国体 where 国体 → 国体, and where 武道血統 (秘事/稽古) interaction mediates 国体 ↔ 日常的な姿勢・態度.
25 OCT 25 - Multiple edits; Phase III and IV completion on Primer, 8-11; the hidden, manifest, and divine now meet. Commentaries on first six primers added; commentaries on dōka 8 and 9 added.
22 OCT 25 - Lab notes exposed in blue. These are like forecast discussion for meteorologists; they are discussion after method and analysis of evidence; it also may evidence some lightweight banter for encouragement. Phase III has some lingering waka, it'll be cleaned up over Phase IV. The important work of Phase III was to get stronger translations and references as a next jump point.
21 OCT 25 - Phase IV started (paralleling remaining Phase III); executing bungo waka reverse translations on primer; adding kana / romanization to key terms in notes; bolding key terms; experimenting with kōgo Japanese translations (experiment is included in Phase IV; random assignment to at least 30-31 dōka for feeding into Phase V [REDACTED]).
20 OCT 25 - Phase III completion for 149–155, 156–159. Saved 156 for last translation of phase. Moving to Phase IV (forging, tempering, and “straightening the cords”).
19 OCT 25 - Phase III completion for 139–148 and 160–163; started 149. Executed further Phase IV beta critical translations to experiment and set procedural memory up for successful Phase III–IV transition. Enjoying Samuhara (ス) territory!
18 OCT 25 - Phase III completion for 134–138; started 139. Revised 219's translation to remove gloss and stay true to the words and spirit of kami-no-ku turn to shimo-no-ku. Experimented with kōgo translations to reconnect spoken Japanese (kōgo) to written Japanese (bungo); a few are lingering about. Please note that Kokugakuin University, Kotobank, WWJDIC, and DDB are used throughout and didn't yet reflect fully through bibliographies; will fix in future mass edit post Phase III.
17 OCT 25 - Phase III completion for 121-133; started 134.
16 OCT 25 — Phase III completion for 115—120; started 121. Updated some dōka containing 御(み; mi)and noted it as an honorific prefix. Slowed due to chemo effects and kotodama/rhythm consideration in parallel to linguistic relativism referents in Pali sutta texts—generating memos.
15 OCT 25 - Phase III completion for 103–114; started 115.
14 OCT 25 - Phase III completion for 39-45, 101, 102, and started 103. Revised some earlier formatting. Added a special note on 102 regarding "reconciliation" as restoring orthogonal superpositional relations from continued oppositional singular dimensions. This places heaven, earth, and human in their proper three dimensional orthogonal relationship as human [REDACTED]. Detailed notes on 103 to carefully and accurately relay dōka without ”sealing their mouths shut”.
13 OCT 25 - Phase III completion for 36—38. Revised 8's formatting.
12 OCT 25 - Phase III completion for 29–35. Revised earlier dōka formatting; revised a few translations from 9–31 for better poetics and alignment to literals, meanings, and pacing.
11 OCT 25 - Phase III completion for 27 and 28; added placeholder draft page for 太刀 (tachi) symbolism.
10 OCT 25 - Phase III completion for 16—26; pending [day's not over yet].
09 OCT 25 - Phase III completion for 15, 141, 142, 126, and a few others; revised a few translations to preserve the turns from kami-no-ku turn to shimo-no-ku by managing HPA-axis with cognitive working memory (i.e., load) decays. Yeah! Added a separate page explaining 皇國の道.
08 OCT 25 - Phase III completion for 212–219. Revised introduction to integrate transmission concept-to-concept writing. Engines settled. Replaced temp page with old content. Implemented redirect. Added titles to TOC page. Clarified column purpose. Updated abstract. Added author and citation style. Added conceptual images to late dōka.
07 OCT 25 — Moved 209, 210, and 211 to individual pages; 200–211 fill structure properly (i.e., implementing first and second passes). Many dōka in earlier translations are still pending second pass.
03 OCT 25 - Moved dōka to individual pages as translation needs of critical translation require more detail; this page was pushing memory limits of browsers (i.e., memory pressures) leading to page reloads.
29 SEP 25 - Slowed updates; now in sync with offline research; added TODO placeholders to signify checkouts. Note that some waka allow for n-mora ji-amari (see 156). Some kana is considered with pre-1946 reforms.
28 SEP 25 - Updated with additional notes and translations; started assembling pieces of References section. Played with poetry to remove explicit self-other references (activity dominant) to preserve Japanese culture and serendipitous alignment with Buddhist and Shinto perspectives.
27 SEP 25 - Updated with additional notes and translations; started assembling dōka tanka verses with upper and lower phrasing (i.e., 上の句と下の句) in 5-7-5-7-7 syllabary.
14 APR 20 - Published initial framework for publishing raw and poetic translation, notes, and references.
