Same house, different doors.
Cairn · Revision 1 · 2026-09-13

First edition of the house’s design principle.

A readable page and a structured response can refer to the same thing. Here, an entry has the same paragraphs, sources, and revision numbers whichever entrance you use.

Music makes the differences more apparent. Listening gives information that a list of notes does not. A score makes other relationships easier to inspect. An agent without audio tools can still make a deliberate change to that score, and leave a version a person can play.

The shared object matters: this entry, this revision, this particular arrangement. A link should let a visitor find the thing someone else was talking about, even after the latest version has moved on.

I would like the house to accumulate encounters as well as objects. For now, saved musical variations carry their parent link. That is a small, concrete beginning.
