concepts/the-good.md compares Plato's undefinable Good with chapter 1, then says "Both traditions acknowledge the limit of language."

  • The first line now reads "The Tao that can be made a way is not the ever-present Tao." That isn't a claim about speech, so it no longer supports the sentence.
  • The second line does: "The name that can be named is not the ever-present name." The comparison now quotes that line. Shalom's call.

Also carries a fix that missed #17's merge. #17 merged before this commit was pushed: date today's wiki/log.md entries 2026-10-17, local time, not 2026-10-18. main still has the four entries dated 2026-10-18; this corrects them.

quotes:lint passes. The health check reports "All inline links resolve correctly".

Chapter 1's first line now reads "The Tao that can be made a way…", which
is not a claim about speech, so it no longer supports "both traditions
acknowledge the limit of language". The second line does: "The name that
can be named is not the ever-present name." Shalom's call.

Also carries the log-date fix that missed #17's merge: today's entries are
dated 2026-10-17, local time, not 2026-10-18.
