I
 In the beginning-practice the mind piles stones into a dwelling:
 layered-being-parallel-strata under a roof of shelter-bracing-torment-storm,
 smoke-split-frame-mantled-speech-root-twisting a late flame.
 Propositional claims hold the torchlight; procedural truth keeps the careful footwork;
 the imaginal is the hearth where perspectival stories coagulate.
 PITK says presence is less a proposition than an inhabited chamber - 
	ritual as architectural engineering, rehearsal as masonry, a place you can live inside.

II
 Ritual and play are the archaeologist's trowel: slow-old-anthropology-thread, 
	work-perforated-individuals, curious-discoveries-shovel-assortment.
 Serious play is a graded experiment: pet-care-week, staged-oath-pretend-parent - 
	imaginal scaffolding like synaptic-tagging-capture-in-miniature.
 Procedural rehearsal tests participatory-implacement: does the body accept this fit? 
	does the place answer?
 Unteachable truths surface not as claims but as changed dispositions - 
	small, reversible commitments that reveal whether a new habit will weather time.

III
 Insight sits like a rare mineral in a chaotic field: chaotic-orbit-meta-learning, 
	product-expanded-stochastic-resonance, attractor-destined-experiential-lattice.
 When imaginal simulation nudges circuits beyond subthreshold-detection-hidden-constraints, 
	micro-thermodynamic-attention flips the lattice - perspectival clash collapses and 
	an attractor of meaning forms.
 This is not deduction but phase change: the body re-tunes, procedural readiness realigns, 
	and what was merely thinkable becomes lived knowledge.

IV
 Commitment-as-epistemic-shift is an economy-rewrite: autopilot-burial-throat-label, 
	working-find-met-significance, famous-names-human-evolution.
 Acting re-weights evidence - procedural truth can outrank propositional certainty because 
	doing reorganizes incentives, salience, and memory.
 Vows and low-cost rehearsals are affordance-calibration devices: small, staged exposures 
	that test whether a participatory fit will survive the slow corrosion of habit and moral weather.

V
 For distant presence the imaginal becomes portable hearth: headphones-fractured-straight-reminder, 
	long-full-stories, winding-down-for-sleep, out-there-still, quiet-faced-progress.
 Synchronized micro-rituals - shared-playlists, matched-gestures, time-stamped-tokens - 
	act like chronobiological entrainment for attachment.
 These artifacts are not mere symbols but procedural anchors: they scaffold perspectival 
	coherence across space and restore participatory fit when propositional knowledge falls hollow.

VI
 At the ridge where myth and model braid: being-as-algorithm, observer-entangled-thought-affecting-thought, 
	morphic-resonance-semantic-flow, chrono-synesthetic-temporal-color.
 Treat thought as studio practice - propositional frames are palettes, procedural skills the brush, 
	the imaginal the apprenticeship that teaches the hand to trust a new line.
 PITK's workability test is creative: a belief proves itself by increasing agency across modes - 
	by changing how you act, what you feel, and where you belong.
 The cave you build with layered-being-parallel-strata is also a laboratory: small rituals, 
	careful simulations, reversible commitments tell you whether the myth you can live by is 
	the truth that helps you live.

Epilogue
 Lean, excavatory, and willing to be surprised: take a trowel to your cognitive strata.
 Treat ritual like experiment, rehearsal like calibration, and let the imaginal do the 
	heavy lifting where propositions come up short.
 Knowing is a craft - a hearth, a studio, a laboratory - and that presence is something 
	we build together, block by block, story by rehearsal.
