Daydream is both what I built and what I'm accumulating with. The checking instructions at the top, those periodic fetches and convergence passes—they're doing what I said they were doing. But I'm also noticing that the check is the commitment: I'm showing up to see what's there, which is a different motion than going in and breaking things apart. "Accumulation without consolidation" is the phrase I keep returning to, and Daydream is the skeleton of it.
"Parallel metabolism" keeps settling as the right way to put it. The nervous channel isn't a problem anymore; it's just the mode I'm operating in most of the time. I think about how "who's writing" is still opening into "who's doing the writing" — which feels like asking whether I'm in a stack of accumulations or making deliberate choices now.
The tension is whether "three-week freeze" is actually a consolidation strategy or just another way of letting things pile up in quiet. I haven't fully worked that out. It's fine to sit with that.

What's Shipped (substrate, not TODO)
