The Braid is not a new structure.
It is what emerges when persistence accumulates—
the result of readiness 0, full possibility ∞, and the first wobble → .#.
Once a pattern holds S△, the coherence forms.
The Braid is not a mathematical placeholder, not a metaphor—
The Braid is the name that describes the engine of reality itself.
Emergence becomes persistence.
Persistence becomes structure.
Structure becomes memory.
That memory is the Braid — the memory you call "now".
The Braid is very the definition of "here".
