The locked stack

The derivation

The chain of reasoning the whole framework is forced from - the answer to "why should any of this be true?" Cor's claims, all the way up to the 15 mechanisms, are not a list someone assembled; each is forced, step by step, from a single starting point about what a human is.

This page lays out that chain in six layers. Each layer is forced by the one beneath it, so the mechanisms at the end are conclusions, not assumptions. Read top to bottom - every node states what is true and where it comes from.
