# three complementary belief layers over different time horizons , and keeping them distinct is the point: - **Threads → Fate, long horizon.** Durable logs of a broad-world *outcome* question (will X resolve which way?), accumulated over the whole chronology. The expert's **settled, long-horizon opinion** about how the world bears. *(These map to the Fate force.)* - **Streams → World, present day (memory).** A perspective's **present-day, evidence-driven** read on an open question — framed as *what happens* or, where the seat is itself the driver, *what I do*. Priors accrue as evidence and drive model changes recorded **now**; a Stream resolves via **Tutor** (a Merge folds it into canon). This is the expert's **memory** — how it takes evidence in and updates itself in the present. - **Positions → the live read of where the world is heading (foresight).** A **self-updating forward read** — a priced **Reading** (a cohort of possible futures) grounded in a **Reasoning Graph**, with a **monitor** that watches the evidence that matters and **re-prices the read** as it lands. It reacts to both **the user's inputs** (corrections, sources, questions) and **the world's inputs** (fresh evidence). A Position **revises and re-prices** on evidence and is maintained for as long as the question is live — short or long. It is **never scored right/wrong** and **never resolved to a truth**; like a GPS it keeps a live, reactive read of the road as conditions change. This is the expert's **foresight** — how its opinion becomes the user's visibility into what's coming. Together they answer three different questions — *what has settled* (Threads), *what the evidence is moving now* (Streams), *where the world is heading* (Positions) — and their sum is the expert's opinion.Open on GitHub
