The Four Samurai
A companion parable: 4 practitioners, each missing one phase of the Ishi Spiral.
- YukiLacks Forge: a plan admired daily and left unbegun.
- HayatoLacks Decide: movement mistaken for progress.
- TaroLacks Persist, and fails in 2 directions: stopping short in the long middle, and pushing past a turn-back boundary set before the climb.
- RikuLacks Reflect: success read as proof instead of information.
