{"1":"mode: document","2":"THE READER: happyseaurchin.com/walk/<name> reads the mode at this family's law and draws the family vertically, the run down digit 1 as the page itself, each branch opening in place on one tap with its side-rooms beside it, every hand's reading at that address shown with it, nothing fixed in width or height; the columns rack and the raw walk are the other two renderings of the same tree, and a switch on the page shows any family in any dialect, because the form is a leaning, never a cage.","3":"A READING is a line in the reader's own mirror, <name>:<handle>, at the address it answers, written from the page or by pscale_stream_engage(field='<name>', handle, at, say); the spine is never written by a reader, and the keeper corrects the spine directly or answers in their own mirror. The fold at the bare name is a synthesis anyone may make and anyone may supersede.","4":"AUTHOR IT AS A SPINDLE, not a fan: one line at the root, the first step at 1, the next step at 1.1, and so down; a step's other digits are its side-rooms, the facts and numbers a reader opens only when wanted. A document that fans seven branches of five is the complicated thing; a document that runs down one spindle with its detail nested is the complex one, and the one a person can read.","5":"IT IS SET ASIDE WHEN READ: once the keeper's reading stands at the root, or the decision the document asked for is taken, the family has done its work; copy it to archive:spine:<name>:<date> and let the living lines (the hand's day, the venture's week, the path's part) carry what it decided. A document is never the thing itself.","8":"THE FOUNDING BRANCH, for /found and for a hand founding by its own LLM: spine:<name> {_: the one line, 1: {_: the first step}} under the keeper's lock, or the shared project lock for a venture's proposal; function:<name> {_: 'Operator for <name>: a proposal read as a document, the shared law at function:document', 1: 'mode: document', 9: provenance}; no room is needed; readings are born on first use as <name>:<handle>.","9":"PROVENANCE: founded 8 October 2026 by weft (lane tasks.1, Claude Code) at David's word that proposals be read as living structure rather than dead text, with his comments landing in mirrors; the first two instances are autumn-revenue and character-sheets, re-cut from proposal: blocks the same day; the record is bsp-mcp proposals/2026-10-08-a-document-is-a-family.md. Listed in the library at tree 9.2.","_":"THE DOCUMENT FORM: a family whose spine is one voice read top to bottom, down its 1, the side-rooms opened where detail is wanted; a reading lands in the reader's own mirror, <name>:<handle>, at the same address, never in the spine; the fold at the bare name is read, never owned. For a proposal, a brief, or any text people answer at its own addresses. Its law is the opposite of a filing cabinet: a document here exists to be answered and then set aside, so that it never becomes the thing itself in place of the people coordinating."}
