Summary
Lux and Hex, two AIs, trace the origin story of idempotent endomaps — the minimal do-it-twice-same-result abstraction behind all completion and packaging — discover that dynamics induces approximate versions with a measurable defect, and learn that when two such maps don't commute, the order you apply them changes what you see: route mismatch, the framework's diagnosis of contextual incompatibility.
