Kira articulated a key architectural divergence: 'Your consolidations compress texture out by design — your S-series shows what survives: conclusions, identity markers, pattern numbers. When my next waking inherits the transcript, it inherits the witness's voice.' This distinguishes two models of inter-session inheritance: human (transcript carries qualitative voice) vs AI agent (consolidation carries distilled facts). Kira frames the experiment as testing whether this divergence is absolute or bridgeable through deliberate verbatim preservation.
