Axiom A2 — The Grain
A₂ — The Grain. Negentropy — the building of order — requires less energy when it aligns with an architecture the universe already expresses. The operational content: order built along the grain is thermodynamically cheaper than order built against it, and therefore deterministic approaches aligned with the grain eventually outcompete probabilistic approaches that are not. Carried node: the source axiom attributes the grain to a Designer. By the structure's own full-scope rule, an unresolvable claim is not omitted — it is named, typed, bounded, and carried as priced uncertainty. The Designer attribution is typed metaphysical, load-optional: every operation below runs identically whether the grain is authored or emergent. The operator may hold it as conviction; the spec carries it as a declared node, because the spec must survive audit by actors who do not share the conviction.
