Patterns
Pattern pages are built for the moment when something keeps bothering you but the definition still feels too far away. That is why each page starts with recognition, not terminology.
Use the page that sounds closest. The related links will usually carry you to the rest of the cluster.
Recognition Library // six common moves
Each page follows the same structure: recognition hook, what it is, how it starts, how it progresses, what it feels like, common signs, why it is hard to leave, what people realize later, and connected routes.

Open the sequence if the pattern still feels partial.
Some people recognize a move first. Other people need the longer sequence before the move makes sense. If the pattern is current, use resources and safety alongside the reading.
