The One Question: Does Z remain Ω-permeable?
The Core Bifurcation (§6.1)
There is exactly one system-level question:
Does Z remain Ω-permeable or not?
| Answer | World-State | Topology |
|---|---|---|
| Yes | 🜛 Co-SPHERE | Coordination without closure |
| No | ▩ MemeGrid | Control lattice, compulsory doing |
Everything Else is Detail
From §4.1:
“One global invariant: Z must remain Ω-permeable. Everything else is diagnostic detail.”
The Ecological Health Axes (§2), the Habitat Stack (§4), the Twist dynamics (§3)—all exist to keep this distinction visible.
Diagnostic Priority
From §4.11:
When analyzing circulation stress, check in this order: 1. Other-Sphere: Is Ω-permeability maintained? 2. Threadplex: Is pattern diversity preserved? 3. We-Sphere: Can collective update shared Knots? 4. My-Stream: Are ownership claims revisable? 5. I-Tube: Can identity adjust to evidence? 6. It-Field: Can raw experience still surprise?
Reverse cascades and forward repairs both trace back to this one question.
One-Line Diagnostic Lock
From §6.1:
“If Ω can still re-enter anywhere in the stack, a Co-SPHERE remains possible. If Z seals Ω anywhere, MemeGrid pressure propagates everywhere.”
