This is the durable reading node behind the shorter latest-update surface. The
/loop draft is where the longer chapter-by-chapter notes are taking shape;
this entry exists so the reading itself can participate in the graph.
What matters for the site is the way the book turns consciousness into a loop: not just a model of the world, and not just a model of the self, but a model whose activity includes evidence for its own modeling.
