This is the first public post.
The operating principle is simple: the website is canonical. Substack, Twitter, RSS, and texts are distribution surfaces that point back here.
Why phone membership
The locked layer is not a payment product. It is an attention contract. A member gets the locked posts by opting into occasional text updates and verifying that phone number when access needs to be refreshed.
What remains open
Public posts, the archive, RSS, and source-level writing all stay simple. The locked layer is only for commentary and member-specific dispatches.
