Closing the Loop

Absorbed into the Compressed Medicine curriculum

By Sunny Harris, MD

This essay was an early draft that has been absorbed into the Compressed Medicine curriculum.

The six-properties checklist it sketched is now articulated as shared compression + error correction in Part 9: The Defense Architecture. The penicillin-allergy failure mode it opened with is folded into Part 8: The Same Wall as a clinical instance of shared-vocabulary divergent state. The Epic In Basket case is folded into Part 11: The Irreversible-Action Check under accepting an AI plan.

For the canonical treatment, start with the Preface and follow the curriculum's recommended order.
