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 declares v2.0, marking the transition of“Socratic Method and Anti-Socratic Method”from a method-based concept to a practical framework. Through the observation phases of v1.x,the structure has met the following conditions: It functions without preserving the official name Partial adoption still produces circulation It operates without explanatory guidance Usability precedes theoretical precision These indicate a shift froman object to be understoodto a premise that is used. In v2.0, the structure is not redefined as a single method or doctrine.No standardized usage or “correct implementation” is proposed. The role of this framework is to provide a reconfigurable arrangementof questioning, initiative, revisability, and progression,adaptable to each context in which it is applied. As such, the framework does not requirea fixed name, sequence, or complete implementation. v2.0 does not signify completion.It signifies the point at which there is no need to return. This document positions the structure as having movedbeyond the author’s direct control,becoming independently deployable acrosspractice, education, AI, and UX contexts. Protective Note This document does not present a final or unified definition. The framework is intended to be freely reconfigured per context and use case. This text is fixed as v2.0 and does not revise prior versions. Future versions may appear as extensions, derivatives, or implementation logs.
