COBESY compiles nine source works into a three-layer stack, plus six writing works that drive the Cognitive layer's composition back-end. This file records the bibliography, where each work plugs in, and the substitutions made relative to the original framework spec.
| Layer | Work | Author | Role in COBESY |
|---|---|---|---|
| Systemic | Organizational Culture and Leadership | Edgar Schein | Three levels of culture; diagnose basic underlying assumptions |
| Systemic | The Fearless Organization | Amy Edmondson | Psychological safety × accountability 2×2; failure types |
| Systemic | (Scientist Mode) | Adam Grant | Falsifiability; ban prosecutor/politician; disproof conditions |
| Behavioral | How Behavior Spreads | Damon Centola | Simple vs complex contagion; wide bridges; clustered seeding |
| Behavioral | The Human Network | Matthew Jackson | Centrality types; eigenvector anchors; diffusion |
| Behavioral | The Catalyst | Jonah Berger | REDUCE; remove barriers; reactance |
| Behavioral | (Sequential cascades) | Easley & Kleinberg | Order choices; positive information cascades |
| Cognitive | The Pyramid Principle | Barbara Minto | Top-down MECE pyramid; SCQA |
| Cognitive | Design for How People Learn | Julie Dirksen | Cognitive load; Elephant/Rider; gap types |
| Cognitive | The Adult Learner | Malcolm Knowles | Andragogy; six assumptions about adults |
| Facilitation | Gamestorming | Gray, Brown & Macanufo | Open/explore/close games for live sessions |
These drive references/composition.md and emit composition_blueprint. COBESY
sorts them by grain, from the whole piece down to the sentence. That grain ladder
is this skill's adapter, not a named source framework.
| Grain | Work | Author | Role in COBESY |
|---|---|---|---|
| Macro | Writing Your Journal Article in Twelve Weeks | Wendy Laura Belcher | Single significant idea; argue don't report; post-outline; surface the structure |
| Macro | The Pyramid Principle | Barbara Minto | (shared with agenda back-end) top-down MECE hierarchy for prose |
| Opening | Wired for Story | Lisa Cron | Hook; protagonist / situation / stakes on the first screen |
| Opening | Successful Writing at Work | Philip C. Kolin | Four keys (audience, purpose, message, tone) + the action |
| Meso | They Say / I Say | Graff & Birkenstein | Paragraph as a move; they-say/I-say; the naysayer |
| Micro | Several Short Sentences About Writing | Verlyn Klinkenborg | Short sentences; cut the anxiety of sequence |
| Micro | Style: Lessons in Clarity and Grace | Williams & Bizup | Subjects=characters, verbs=actions, old-before-new cohesion |
Two sets of personal notes in NotebookLM, based on the sources below.
COBESY — between skills and knowledge systems (9 sources): Dirksen · Gray (Gamestorming) · Centola · Schein · Knowles · Berger · Edmondson · Minto · Jackson. Drives the three-layer adoption stack.
COBESY: Successful Writing and Technical Reporting for Change (6 sources): Cron · Klinkenborg · Graff & Birkenstein · Belcher · Kolin · Williams & Bizup. Drives the composition back-end. All layer content was synthesized from source-grounded queries against these works.
The original framework topology named Heath & Heath (stickiness), Grant (hypothesis), and Easley & Kleinberg (cascades) as explicit nodes. The working notebook instead carried Berger, Knowles, and Gamestorming. COBESY maps them as follows:
| Spec node | Realized as | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Heath & Heath — stickiness / resistance | Berger REDUCE | Both address why a message fails to land; REDUCE adds the barrier-removal mechanics. |
| Grant — Scientist Mode / hypothesis | Folded into Edmondson (Systemic) | Falsifiability is a safety/accountability practice; kept as the disproof condition. |
| Easley & Kleinberg — cascades | Described inside the Behavioral layer | Sequential cascade modeling is a routing tactic alongside Centola/Jackson. |
| (added) Knowles — andragogy | Cognitive layer | Adult-learner psychology sharpens the cognitive interface for senior/expert audiences. |
| (added) Gamestorming | Facilitation reference | Provides the live-session execution layer the spec implied but didn't name. |
