# First Cuts

These are the first cuts of the gem.

They are not the finished tensor. They are the first visible faces cut out of `5 - narrative.md` so the project can begin to exist as a structured object rather than one long mixed-state document.

## Included

- `01 - kernel.md`
  The compressed generating seed.

- `02 - axis-sheet.md`
  The current basis directions, with signal words and risks.

- `03 - methodology.md`
  Premature closure, remainder, disciplined hospitality, and the pattern of discovery.

- `04 - technical.md`
  The formal physics and mathematics face.

- `05 - mythic.md`
  Hero's journey, thresholds, monsters, scroll, crystal, return.

- `06 - devotional.md`
  Hope, beauty, love, kingdom, grief, and the human meaning of the project.

- `07 - prophetic.md`
  The diagnosis of extraction, civilizational drift, and the need for a shared project.

- `08 - polarity.md`
  Masculine-coded and feminine-coded off-axis tilts, their wounds under closure, and the ethic of weakly held from afar, close when near.

## How To Use These

Read them in two ways:

- vertically
  Each file should stand on its own as one face of the project.

- laterally
  Compare how the same deep structure appears under different dominant fibers.

## Next Step

Once these first cuts feel stable, the next layer is cross terms:

- technical x mythic
- technical x devotional
- methodology x prophetic
- mythic x cultural
- phenomenological x devotional

That is where the tensor starts becoming explicit.
