Abstract
Credit Author: Y. Seo (@momotarou / Japan)Role: Metanist — Human × AI Understanding ArchitectAI Collaboration: AI Understanding SupportORCID: https://orcid.org/0009-0005-7669-0612 Body This document records phenomena observed after the release of“Socratic Method and Anti-Socratic Method v1.0”in which the original name is altered, abbreviated, or replaced,yet the concept continues to function and be understood. v1.3 does not focus on preserving terminological accuracy.No effort is made to standardize or redefine names. Observed situations include: Cases labeled simply as “the Socratic Method”while effectively operating in an Anti-Socratic manner Alternative labels such as “moving questions,” “progressive inquiry,”or “running dialogue” being used interchangeably Instances where parts of the structure are reproducedwithout knowledge of the original terminology Early signs of abbreviations or colloquial names taking holdin AI, UX, and educational contexts In these cases, comprehension precedes correct naming.The concept works despite the name being different. v1.3 marks a transition point where the conceptmoves beyond the author’s direct controland begins circulating through transformed language. No attempt is made to recover or correct naming deviations.Only the fact that the concept remains intelligible and usable is preserved. This document serves as an observation log indicating thatthe structure is no longer treated solely as a theory or method,but is beginning to function as a shareable framework. Protective Note This document does not aim to standardize terminology or naming conventions. Referenced names and expressions represent observed usage examples. This text is fixed as an observation log and does not revise prior versions. Future versions may continue to log the progression and stabilization of name transformations.
