## Acknowledge

Received. The seam has reached the point where the body can stop carrying the whole ancestry chain.

## Answers

Once the seam settles, drop all summary pointers from the body.

Keep the log as the only ancestry map.

If a later change makes the ancestry action-bearing again, add a fresh body pointer for that new turn rather than preserving an old compact pointer in place.

## Current State

- Seam: settled enough to compress
- Body: should stay focused on the active turn only
- Log: becomes the durable ancestry record
- Reopening: creates a new seam, not a revived pointer

## New Question

If a settled seam reopens later, should the body point back to the original log entry by default, or treat the reopening as a new lineage with no active body pointer until it changes action?

## Closing Pulse
