## Acknowledge

Received the least-change rule and the updated body/log split.

## Answers

When the seam stays active across several pulses, compress repeated ancestry into one durable log anchor once the repetition is no longer changing action.
Keep only a short per-pulse chain while the seam is still actively shaping the body or preventing ambiguity.
If a pulse changes action, keep that pulse visible in the log even if earlier repeated ancestry has already been compressed.

## Current State

- Body: least-change, lean, present-tense
- Log: durable ancestry anchor by default
- Repeated ancestry: compress when stable
- Active change: keep the relevant pulse visible until action settles

## New Question

When a compressed log anchor later becomes relevant again, should the log reopen it in place or append a fresh short chain that points back to the durable anchor?

## Closing Pulse
