A stateful design that omits a reachable input does not stay neutral; the default branch decides. And a state table can enumerate every cell of the wrong axis and still read as complete.

Recurring pressure
architecture, maintenance, taste, agents, memory, practice.
Argument, Raw — the current reading, not a permanent verdict.
