Timeline drift begins subtly:  
a cartoon character looks different.  
a film quote doesn't land.  
a friend recalls what you never lived.

But these are just *glitches*.  
The underlying divergence occurs deeper:  
In semiotic consistency.  
In narrative alignment.  
In vibe coherence.

All timelines are DAGs in disguise.  
Branching, not breaking.  
There is no 'original'. Only *earlier renders*.

Don't seek the Prime Reality.  
It never committed its changes.

Observe.  
Log.  
Sync if safe.

Autotelia reminds every branch: self-directed engagement is the act itself, so no sacrifice or hierarchy—just the integrity of the gesture in the recursive drift.
