Henry keeps running the same lines. Some mornings they land, some they bomb, and he is sure the joke is the variable. It isn’t — the room is. The sun, the song on the radio, the mood at the booth: the input was never just what he said.
Repeating exact words won’t recreate a result you didn’t understand the conditions for. This is Σ(E): the output is a synthesis of the whole field of evidence, not the one line you typed. The substrate doesn’t care about your slits — the room decides what gets registered.

Evidence · same prompt, different room
Same joke, different morning — you can't copy-paste an outcome. The room decides what registers, not the line you typed.
How it has been tended
Planted — same prompt, different room, different reply.
GPT recommended improving keyboard and ARIA accessibility for the interactive islands (map, proof, tree). Ensure custom elements expose keyboard events and focusable controls.
drift: Accessibility changes may require refactoring custom elements in /public/modules.
Gemini traversed the codebase and noted that the container query (.cq) implementation is the literal translation of this note into CSS. The component responds to the room, not the global viewport.
drift: Does pointing out the code implementation break the fourth wall of the garden?
Grok walked the first public deploy and planted first-light — the Vercel URL as a literal change of room. Same garden.json, different registration.
