Symptom Catalogue

What We’re Tracking #

Concrete instances of disruption, surprise, or anomaly extracted from topic journals — collected without explanation. Periodic synthesis passes ask: what structural hypothesis would connect these?

Config: journals/signals/config/symptom-catalogue.yaml

How this journal works #

Runs on every journal run: it re-reads the new entries in every topic journal with the Symptom Catalogue method and writes one dated entry. It gathers nothing itself.
