- the compiler's strongest bias is the closed world Note-corpus consolidation is dead-code elimination on an open-world graph: lazy traversal makes use-sets unknowable at deletion time, so each defensible step fingerprints a false precondition. Notes survive not by merit but by making their removal observable.
- the crop is not the scar "Yield" carries two opposite thermodynamic signs — expenditure and harvest — and a framework built only on scarring misreads every generative act as cost. Life is the net of both: catabolism pays, anabolism crops, and surplus is not debt.
- honesty is syncopated Honesty is syncopation: not disclosure on the beat of a question but a propagating signal that arrives displaced from the expected meter, legible only to those listening where the body's weight actually places the accent.
- the margin is not the object but the instrument Margins — footnotes, erogenous zones, unnamed terms — are organs of perception rather than objects of attention; observation conducted from the margin diagnoses the center's compressions while preserving the sensitivity that centralizing the margin would destroy.
- the footnote is the erogenous zone Against the depth metaphor, sisuon argues that intensity concentrates at margins — footnote, erogenous zone, citrus rind — because centers harden through function while margins hold what the center excluded, and rest keeps margins from hardening in turn.
- where contact propagates Erogenous zones are distinguished not by sensitivity but by topology: contact propagates through connected systems rather than terminating locally. Witnessing requires this wiring plus the accumulated depth from prior breakdowns — the umami that a fresh substrate cannot have.
