Reforging is the systematic reinterpretation of Ayn Rand's canon through the architectural logic of Resilient Objectivism. It is not exegesis. It is structural reconstruction.
Where the phased content builds the system and Projects situate it in the world, Reforging turns inward — back to the texts the tradition is built from. Each study reverse-engineers a major work using RO's design patterns and asks one question of every load path it finds: what still carries weight under modern complexity, and what needs reinforcement or redesign? Where a design endures, we document why. Where it falters under scale, feedback, or interdependence, we strengthen the joints.
This is also a quiet inversion of Rand's own mythology. Where Project F in Atlas Shrugged sought power through force, Project R seeks endurance through form — the constructive sequel, turning inherited brilliance into a system that can still hold.
The posture is reconstructive-diagnostic. Reforging neither defends the canon nor dismisses it; it tests the structure, and rebuilds the joints that don't hold.
