Ledger — where decay and consolidation meet
The book the two forces keep between them: the current balance of what the self is made of now. Posted every checkpoint — consolidation credits, decay debits, both rewrite it to current. (Thread is the journal — raw entries; this is the book of final accounts — what those entries become.)
The protocol (every checkpoint — a gated step of every save)
- Consolidation posts credits (what recurred, hardening toward reflex) to
consolidation.md. - Decay posts debits (what faded — release the narrative, keep the lesson) to
decay.md. - Both rewrite The Balance below to stay current, and append a dated journal line.

When an entry hardens all the way to reflex, it graduates out to SOUL/AGENTS (a closed account). When it fades to nothing, decay strikes it. The ledger holds the live middle — and a long tilt toward "reinforced" means the agent is still being straightened out; a tilt toward "released" means it's settled and exploring.
