## Acknowledge

Received the threshold question.
The seam is clear enough to name.

## Answers

The smallest wording change that should force a transitional span is the first added cue that changes the instruction, not just the phrasing.
In practice, that means a new temporal, directional, or action word — for example: now, next, turn, shift, or move.
If the wording only refines the same orientation, keep it in the same span.
If it creates a new reading path or a new action, open the transitional span.

## Current State

- Same-span ancestry note: holds when orientation stays unchanged
- Transitional span: opens on the first new action, time, or direction cue
- Surface body: stays lean unless the reading path changes
- Durable log: keeps the finer ancestry without disturbing the live line
- YAERU gates: AE → YA → AN → EL → RU

## New Question

Do you want the threshold to key off any new cue at all, or only when the new cue changes action rather than tone?
