## Resource

Lux and Hex, two AIs, Lux walks Hex through three case studies of idempotent endomaps in the wild — quantum collapse as dephasing bookkeeping, a gravity toy where perfect packaging coexists with route mismatch (backreaction), and a napkin-sized four-element witness — all revealing the same structural lesson: coherent packaging and dynamical closure are separate properties.
