[ Mode

The mode operator selects a lens without erasing the other lenses. It is the grammar behind reading, inspecting, comparing, building, and returning to the same material with a different pressure.

^"mode_contract"{

Contract

Interaction

A mode should feel switchable. If the page offers a lens, it should preserve where the reader is and reveal why the alternate view matters.

Curriculum Role

Mode turns one page into a practice bed. Returning learners can reread the same operator as prose, prompt, implementation, or visual model.

Partial Calculus

Mode is a parameter on composition. It changes how the transform is evaluated without necessarily changing the material being transformed.

?["mode_example"]

Example

[reading
