Current canon

What the project holds today, and how firmly.

Finding	Status
The container is constitutive	Candidate theory
Trait, not state	Candidate theory
The self can be displaced	Candidate theory
Attention is the medium and breath is the lever	Convergent
The way down is disorganization, held	Convergent
Awakening is relational and the place is alive	Convergent, with a caveat
The self is a constructed model	Contested

The caveat: where a claim mixes a scientific part with a metaphysical one, the two are kept apart. “The mind reaches into the world” converges with science. “The place itself is sentient” is the traditions’ claim, held as theirs.

Still open

• Is the self unreal, as the traditions say, or a real causal model, as science says? The leading candidate answer is two layers: identification can dissolve while the model keeps steering.
• Is a household a large enough container for lasting change, or do some forms of practice need a community or a place?
• How do you study something science can only watch from outside and the traditions only work from inside?

This is working research, not peer-reviewed. Each position can change, and when one does, the change is dated and the old position is kept.
