Context: the author’s review of the first draft’s title paragraph and subtitle, which credited the 1970 film. Journal: session 04.

The title took more inspiration from Six Easy Pieces: Essentials of Physics Explained by Its Most Brilliant Teacher, a classic book by the Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman.

[On the subtitle:] I’d be more ironic about the fact that, since then, not much has changed conceptually… The real problems to focus on are anything but easy, but they’ve always been the same ones, since the “beginning”.

(translated from Italian)

Why it matters: it set the series’ tone for good. CLAUDE.md §3.2 now reads the title as Feynman’s: the fundamentals look easy, the problems underneath never were, and they haven’t moved since 1995.

Recorded after the fact, in session 09: /wrap had no step for prompts, so none was recorded between sessions 04 and 08. The text is the author’s message from the session, translated.
