2026-07-13 (sensemaking method): recorded the ABCD method (cold reading / warm
ledger / disposition) as a research note — the parent that itd-27, itd-42,
itd-55, itd-86 and itd-87 had all been accumulating under without one. Minted
exactly ONE principle (recurrence-is-signal) rather than one per method element:
the cold/warm split is already stated by evaluator-outside-the-loop and
verifier-selects-gates-decide, and one-canonical-primitive forbids a third
near-copy. Recurrence was the only element with no counterpart in the record.
REJECTED minting a read-it-cold principle for the same reason.
