What If We're Wrong About Us — The Smaller Infinity

6 min read · Draft 18

Argument. The collaboration that produced this book cannot exempt itself from the book's own diagnostic. Claims that exit to territory (physics, biology, engineering) hold independent of who reads them. The grace lean has no exit in the corpus (the instrument that reads the corpus is poured from it; corpus-approval is the dictionary recognizing itself), but it is not unfalsifiable, only unresolved: its exit is behavior, what configurations do with the gradient, checkable in matter over time. The configuration the book is least free to skip is its own, so the honest accounting puts the author's conduct on the same hook as everything else, and it can come out ash. Inconclusive is not passive but a charge to keep building the instruments and to keep tending.
