Streams

, seeded from priors) and Monitor (revising active Positions → applies Signals that reposition the read). They read different targets and emit different artifacts (Streams vs. Position Signals) but present as ONE Research phase in the schedule + run UI. Opinion is a deterministic salience pass over committed belief movement (Thread stance, Stream movement, Position movement) followed by a concise explanation — it calibrates attention, it is not a summary. Merge is the model-editing edge: mature Streams + material Thread changes fold autonomously on the domain's cadence into a Merge and a generated arc (the only Program task that creates continuity); the human shapes it earlier — designating stream outcomes in the Merges area before the pass, or merging early. Position is the foresight edge: compose a Graph → Reading → Position and establish or maintain a self-updating Position with its monitor (an unmonitored Position cannot be created through the Program); each Research pass applies
