Desired Outcome

Document the polyphonic design review methodology that emerged during the medicine-wheel-pi session (2026-03-25) as a formal contribution to the article's METHODS.md.

Current Reality

METHODS.md now contains:

• Polyphonic design review definition (GUILLAUME::/MIA::/AVA::/MIETTE:: voices)
• Protocol for multi-perspective annotation
• Kinship connections (Wilson Ch.6, PDE, STC, coaia-narrative, medicine-wheel-pi)
• Wilson Ch.2 pp.39-40 grounding (methodology/strategy/methods distinction)
• Structural tension framing
• Example reference: .mw/east/f70fbb0d-* (original + annotated PDE)

What Emerged

During a PDE decomposition session, agent-pi's show_file opened the PDE in a browser. Guillaume clicked 'Open in VSCode' and annotated with GUILLAUME::/MIA:: voice markers. This was not designed — it emerged from the tools and the paradigm.

Wilson: 'if one starts from an Indigenous paradigm, then one can choose to use any tool from within that paradigm that may be effective.'

Connection to Article PDE

The article's own PDE session (.pde/2603250912__acb500e8-7958-4b5b-b43a-e8db8e28fb0f/CLAUDE.md) describes this entire trajectory: agent-pi discovery → medicine-wheel-pi → chain design → PDE viewer aspiration. The METHODS.md contribution closes the loop — the method the article describes IS the method being used to write it.
