Knowledge media face an awkward chasm between theories. The old theory was naive transmissionism: "I'll convey this knowledge by telling you about it." That's effectively books' learning model. But we know that model's wrong: learning is an active process of assimilation.

I see those less as missing pieces and more as dimensions to be explored — no 1 right answer. Also: * how does the kind of project interact with the kind of subject/idea? * should projects be about many ideas at once? How many? How disparate? * what value in repeating a project?

Further to the idea of “no one right answer” — we’re still figuring out new ways to encode knowledge in books (to say nothing of dynamic books / interactive fiction). It’s not like we found one effective model and stopped at that. The exploration of all media continues unabated!
