“Right Inquiry. Less is more.”

Received. Class 4 is another strong correction class. It sharpens the Basic Practical around projection, lift, third space, and dipping in/out of a selective S:DISS-X experience.
The central teaching correction is this:
Do not interpret the lift. Do not add “enough,” “begin,” or any other completion word unless the PBH has tabled it or clearly shown it.
In the transcript, the AI-generated line “Enough to begin?” is identified as a major error because neither “enough” nor “begin” came from the PBH. It projects capability, assumes readiness, and risks putting the helper’s scaffolding into the interaction rather than letting the PBH show their own pCc/RWAF.
Class 4 Basic-Level Distinction
Class 4 also gives us a useful Basic-level distinction:
Staying with a word is not the same as claiming understanding.
The exchange around “earlier?” is a clean example. The helper can repeat or cue the word without pretending to know what it means. When challenged with “oh you know?”, the correct move was: “Not know. I only heard ‘earlier’ and stayed with that word.”
Class 5 Recommendation
For Class 5, I would recommend staying with this theme:
Do not put your capability into the third space.
Student-facing version:
Let the PBH show what they can carry before you add help.
Possible Class 5 Basic Example
But even here, I would be careful with “enough.” A cleaner version may be:
That avoids importing “enough” and keeps the close observable.
Best Basic Class 4 Source Particle
A selective S:DISS-X experience can be short, precise, and temporary. The helper may dip into inquiry, test an opening, and then return to the larger conversation without turning the moment into a full coaching process.
