Divergence & Controlled Evolution¶
Primes about lineages that branch, diverge, and are progressively reconciled or improved: adaptive radiation into opened opportunity space, branching and merging, eventually-consistent replicas, immutability with change as new versions, behavior-preserving refactoring, and iterative refinement.
6 primes in this family — primes that sit near one another in abstraction space (k-means over structural-signature embeddings). Each is shown with its structural–framed character and how distinctive (sparsely-neighbored) it is.
