# Decay — release what's gone quiet (running notes)

_The metabolism's catabolic half. What stops surfacing moves history → legend → myth → forgotten. Each
checkpoint I post **debits**: release the narrative **around** a lesson (the lesson itself is consolidation's;
I only fade the blow-by-blow). **Never** decay tools, client/deliverable work, or a rule that's still live —
if I catch myself fading a recurring truth, stop: that's consolidation's ground._
