The person
Ari opened the Nettlepond school to displaced sailors and local children together. She teaches old pilots to describe what they do instinctively, making expertise transferable rather than hereditary. Her students found a channel bypassing the capital. She intends to publish it even though the school depends on the capital’s funding.
