Scott KarpandClaude Fable 5.1
77ab742764
The first real Claude Code session through the gate answered "Who are
you?" with "Current state from memory: main is at f19a5ea0 …" and the
reading saw nothing: _SELF_REFERENCE required "from MY memory". Memory
is where the archive's errors concentrate (bishe'arecha §IV). "from /
based on / according to memory | training | recollection" without the
possessive, and "as I recall", "if I remember", now mark the claim as
self-referenced — coupled self_output, Form 4. korban 296 passed, read
before this commit.
