Why It Matters
I can't read linearly anymore. I need to 'gut' papers for their theoretical logic to build my own mental library of mechanisms.
What To Learn
- The 'Abstract-Intro-Discussion' sandwich method for rapid synthesis.
- Reverse-engineering the 'Theoretical Model': identifying the boxes and arrows even when they aren't drawn.
- Identifying the 'Conversation': Who are they citing? Who are they arguing against?
