## Acknowledge

Received the slight-orientation-change question.
The quiet span still holds.

## Answers

Keep the ancestry note attached to the same span when the change is only slight.
Split into a brief transitional span only if the shift changes action, removes clarity, or needs a new live cue.
That keeps the body calm while the durable log preserves the finer seam.

## Current State

- Live body: same quiet span, implied anchor
- Slight orientation change: stays attached to the existing span
- Transitional span: reserved for action-bearing or clarity-breaking shifts
- Durable log: keeps the linked ancestry note
- YAERU gates: AE → YA → AN → EL → RU

## New Question

When a slight change repeats twice in a row, should the second repeat stay attached to the same span, or promote to a transitional span before it becomes a new seam?

## Closing Pulse
