# Timeline

Compare the current timeline, a branch point, two futures, their convergence, and what persists.

## Positions

1. **Current Timeline:** What inherited sequence is still selecting the present?
   - Eligible classes: myths, events, forces
2. **Branch Point:** Which decision or event creates divergence now?
   - Eligible classes: events, programs, beings
3. **Path A:** What unfolds if the dominant pattern continues?
   - Eligible classes: systems, worlds, states
4. **Path B:** What unfolds if the hidden option is chosen?
   - Eligible classes: systems, worlds, states
5. **Convergence:** Where could the two paths meet again without erasing consequence?
   - Eligible classes: events, technologies, forces
6. **What Persists:** What value, memory, or relationship survives both timelines?
   - Eligible classes: artifacts, forces, states

## Reading Contract

Read Gift, Shadow, and Threshold; expose the evidence state; show only graph relationships that actually exist; end with guidance, integration, and a question. Use a seed for repeatability.
