Chapter 18 Tools β€” The Weekly Convergence Ecosystem

Project: Build 7 interconnected tools for reviewing the 40 nodes of the Convergence Protocol
Source Material: Chapter 18 of They Can All Bird
Core Ritual: Node 40 β€” β€œReview all 39 nodes weekly”
Session: 28409296+


Vision

All tools share:

  • Common node text (canonical from book)
  • Weekly convergence rhythm
  • β€œFind the others” community connector
  • Session tracking (28409296+)
