Polishes the existing essay structure without adding sections or changing the core thesis. Targets redundancy, hedged phrasing, and the necessary-vs-avoidable complexity distinction.

Changes

  • Throughout — Replace (semantic naming) parentheticals with "through semantic naming" for flow
  • Convergence — "partial names for it" → "different words pointing at the same shape"; collapse redundant "This essay calls that shape" restatement; "converge on this same shape" → "converge here"
  • Reduction Test — Add "Can a second truth collapse into one?" to the deletion checklist
  • Design Feedback — "the local code may not be the real problem" → "the model is often the real source of complexity" — more direct, names the actual culprit
  • Necessary Code — Drop "also" from "also removes guarantees" for sharpness; append "—not from avoidable structure" to the complexity sentence, making the necessary-vs-avoidable distinction explicit
