From 31cc7a49189b60187d711fbfa67fa5140434fc18 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Claude Date: Wed, 17 Jun 2026 05:05:18 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] docs/plans A8: X = Provenance/Continuity (the why); Y/Z are the how ETR is the apparatus for not seeking death. X (assertion/inheritance) covers WHY one persists -- self-asserted continuity vs inherited provenance; Y (burden) and Z (double-down/dodge) cover HOW.
