Visual Intent
This diagram exists because the prose in 1_linear_seasons/S03E09_From_Noise_to_Continuity.md asks the reader to see why accumulation is not continuity. The figure turns the archive-as-pile problem into a repair path: thin records create self-interpretation burden, context seeds attach a disciplined minimum, persistent context keeps provenance and boundaries alive, and routed artifact ecology lets later work be re-entered without pretending the record is final authority.
