## Reading

- Forward: Read as an unfolding sequence in which each threshold creates the problem addressed by the next.
- Reverse: Read as an integration path that traces a present condition back toward its enabling assumptions.
- Diagnostic: Stop where the sequence first feels implausible; that seam names the contested transition.
