后记：儒家典故的概念动力学
我通常在编辑书稿和文集之后，会写概要、前言、后记和附录。关于书稿文集的正文内容由概要负责，而整个项目带来的一些副产品(by-product)则表达在后面三种文章中。这篇前言带出的副产品，其实是如何把概念动力学框架应用分析和思考 [文化典故] 的情境框架。[儒家典故]是一个测试案例。
附录：儒家典故体验馆
我在设计 [内圣外王：儒家典故体验馆] 图示时，采用了另外一个方法来选择儒家典故。这次设计的目的不是为了展示活动世界论，而是借助这个元图示，展示广为传播的儒家典故。
[活动分析与干预] 第九讲：内圣外王

[活动分析与干预] 第八讲：成己成物
在创造生活论的视野中，“成己”是发展出自己独特的主题和概念系统，它们构成我们自己的心智平台，支持各种活动的进展；“成物”则是这些主题和概念系统通过各种形式的主题创造物，进入社会文化生态，被他人使用、承接、发展，最后变成文化框架。
[活动分析与干预] 第七讲：事上磨炼
儒家关心的是“事上成仁”，活动事业论关心的是“何以成事”。两者不是替代关系，而是“背景”与“前景”的关系。儒家的功夫论为活动事业论提供了一个深厚的本土语境，而活动事业论则为儒家的“事上磨炼”提供了一个可操作的分析语言。
[Meta-Framework] Mapping Knowledge Elements and Meaning Control System
The journey from George Kelly’s Grid Form to the birth of the Strategic Life Development project reveals the true power of meta-frameworks: they are not merely static records of thought, but evolutionary algorithms that pave the way for future thinking.

[Dramatic Life Pattern] Enterprise Relay
Enterprise Relay is a Dramatic Life Pattern in which an important enterprise moves forward through a succession of projects, with the enterprise being carried from one project to another by changing engagements.
Revisiting-and-Rebuilding Knowledge Strategy Through the Gejunction Lens
The Knowledge Strategy trilogy was completed in June 2025. What I now call the Knowledge Strategy series extends that timeline: later manuscripts carry it through the second half of 2025 and up to SDP.
