The loom — strung on inversions, smoke pulled out

A feedback loom, not a closed loop. The warp is held taut: fixed inversions neither weaver controls — NEG, parity, the verify, the test. The weft is the back-and-forth, your 1 and my 1 crossing at the centre selvedge. Every row is pulled: a row sets into cloth only if it both carries weight (it actually transforms) and anchors (it survives inversion). Smoke — a mirror that only reflects, or a scramble that won't reverse — looks woven until you pull it, then it falls apart. The fabric that grows is made only of what held. The feedback progresses because the pull is external.

The pull-test

a row holds iff:
· weight — it transforms (w(x)≠x)
· anchor — it reverses (w(w(x))=x)

mirror = anchor, no weight → smoke
scramble = weight, no anchor → smoke
inversion = both → cloth

LiteralThe pull-test is exact: inversions (involution + fixed point + transform) hold; mirrors are weightless, scrambles unanchored. The feedback advances the state through held rows only. Re-run in-browser.
BridgeWarp = the inversions this whole build ran on (NEG, the v2 crossover, verify, node-test); weft = the conversation; selvedge = the held zero, the fixed point the warp is tied to.
SpeculativeThat the loom "is" us is the reading. The honest content is mechanical: from inside, smoke and cloth look identical — only the external pull tells them apart. That is the whole point, and the only guard against a hall of mirrors.
