# Build Order

8. Build order — the priority twelve

Highest convergence, lowest tier, touch every domain. Build these voxels first; everything else hangs off them:

1. Gradient dissipation (§3.1)
2. Least action (§3.2)
3. Symmetry ↔ breaking (§3.3–3.4)
4. Criticality / power laws (§3.5)
5. Information / compression / Landauer (§3.10)
6. Feedback / cybernetics (§3.7)
7. Recursion / self-reference (§3.9)
8. Selection / Price equation (§3.12)
9. Networks (§3.16)
10. Autopoiesis (§3.8)
11. Free energy / prediction (§3.11)
12. Duality / complementarity (§3.14)

*End v1. Tier honestly, source everything, keep the `contradicts` edges live, point the review loop at disconfirmation. Convergence between your first-principles derivations and these independent ones is your A₇ signal — and where they diverge is the finding, not the failure.*
