THE CLOCKS — every declared frame at the playhead

PROPER TIME — the innermost frame-declaring container, integrated

one chronicle, many clocks: frames relate to a parent by declared mapping (identity · offset · ratio · function-by-name) · proper time integrates containment — cross a frame boundary by event and your clock drifts from the shore’s · a function mapping is a receipt, not a derivation · comparing unrelated clocks is a finding, never a silent coercion
THE COLLAPSE — the superposition at the playhead
THE COLLAPSE · AS OF3 977“who altered the will” — live since 3 960 · carriers: 0 · withholds standing: 2FOLLOWING THE PLAYHEAD
THE PROBES — before the tick, the superposition holds
THE AXES — the collapse is beat-by-beat, never one dump

THE WITHHOLDS — the first telling-op discharges: 2 → 0

ch27's TICK-B, re-told: carriersAt(t) === [] strictly before the collapse tick — the scan reads canon slugs only, so accusations (however loud, however correct) never register: the accusation is not the collapse (ch25, proven in running code) · the axes land each on its own beat — the hand, then the means, then the hour · the withholds release 2 → 0, the encode's first telling-op discharges · and nothing retro-edits: scrub back across the line and every earlier answer is exactly what it was
the composition, not a new instrument: the Leader owns the playhead; World, Clocks, and Collapse ride it via the same follow seam (attached instruments hide their own scrubbers and say so) · scrub to the reckoning and watch all three agree — the fold's altered-by lands, the frames advance, TICK-B strikes · every widget keeps its own contract; the bench only shares the tick
the composition the gallery was pointing at all along: one playhead, four instruments · the Leader drives — drag its playhead and the world fold re-derives (the will's facets and edges at that tick), every declared clock frame advances through its mapping, and the collapse's probes, axes, and withholds answer for the same instant · the attached instruments hide their own scrubbers and say FOLLOWING THE PLAYHEAD — the follow seam proven by the Leader⊕Clocks attachment, now carrying three · no new derivation lives on the bench: composition only, every widget keeps its own contract, the bench shares nothing but the tick
