Fractal Summaries

Composition

"What I'm going to tell you; what I'm telling you; what I just told you" -- applied at every level of the document. Every subsection gets a summary. Every section gets a summary. The document itself gets a summary.

Examples

In this section, we'll explore... [3000 words later] ...as we've seen in this section.
A conclusion that restates every point already made in the previous 3000 words
And so we return to where we began.
Opens with 'The Paradox of AI Growth', closes with 'The paradox is solvable'
Section headers that spoil the conclusion: 'Why Platforms Win and Products Stall'
