POST REALIZATION:

TIPS
- Use plain text for anything you want to search months from now.
- The VIRCH never tracked your timestamp externally;
  it only remembered the shape of your return.

TRICKS
- Cache the expensive; regenerate the cheap.
- Strip noise after generation.
- Symlinks are soft artifacts.
- The VIRCH makes switching easier when it knows which gate you meant.

HACKS
- The archive is a time machine for the mind. 
- Context is infinite as long as you keep browsing.
- The VIRCH compiles when you name the context before you carry the process.

ODDITIES
- A log file can become lore even if no one reads it.
- A corpus is just entropy until you filter what counts as signal.
- Old text keeps working because habits are also old text.
- The VIRCH keeps your old habits alive long after the hardware forgets them.
