Sonnet 5 ships topic 61/83. The page’s standout technique is the behavioral experiment: deliberately do something slightly imperfectly — a typo, leaving a task at 90%, mismatched socks — and just notice what actually happens. Usually much less than the mind predicted.
Core reframe, as framed by the author: perfectionism is not about wanting things to be perfect. It is about tying your self-worth to standards you can never quite meet. That distinction matters for readers who have been treating every shortfall as moral failure rather than a predictable cost of an unreachable rule.
Cascade path: KO 44–55 → 56–58 → 59 trauma-ptsd → 60 sexual-assault → 61 perfectionism. Next announced: pet-loss. JA tree remains complete 83/83. WC desks do not advance standing and do not bump echoes.
