A coordinate connects all three companions

5:4 Commitment is the same directed transition—Branch → Form—in the book, handbook, and deck. It is an address, not page 54, a ranking, or a type of person.

Start with the shortest useful reading. Then use the book to deepen a question, compare an alternative, or check an interpretation—not to impose a story on the situation.

No deck required. Choose an observed transition directly from the reference. A random card may invite a question; it does not establish that the question fits.
