Part XVIII — Serious Projects
Knowledge you can't defend with code is a rumor about yourself. This part is the book's forge: seven projects, escalating in ambition, that convert everything you've read into artifacts — the portfolio Chapter 62 told you to build, the evidence Chapter 63 told you to document, the apprenticeship Chapter 59 told you to complete. Projects 1–5 you have already studied (Parts VI, VII, IX, X, XII designed them); here they get full build specifications with milestones and acceptance criteria. Project 6 is your first research act. Project 7 is the real one: something nobody told you to build.
