Romans 8:28–30 — the tree, v1 frame

The full T1–T10 frame, built to the locked channel schema below — filled one row at a time, together. Planted so far: T2, the seed. Click it: the Talmud card opens beside the tree (orbit, not flip-away — you keep your place, like the Talmud keeps its center text). Empty bands show their fill-state honestly.
The channel schema — one channel, one variable (the legend this design obeys)
ChannelEncodesStatus in this frame
Y (vertical)T-stage (T1 ground → T9 canopy; T10 set apart, orthogonal)locked — the bands
Sizeimportance / significance (canonical large → minor reception small)live — the seed renders canonical-size
Huetradition flare — navigation, never meaning (per canon §C)live — placeholder ABR-CHR terracotta; wire to the per-tradition extracted palette
Opacitydensity (reception volume — faint → saturated)live — channel reserved; demo at next rows
Solid linelineage (parent → child, the morph, within this tree) — quietframe ready
Dashed threadrhyme — leaves the tree toward another seed's tree (Q2 as a picture)live — one real thread: → Brahma-Sūtra (5/5 validated)
Xtree-shape (readable) ⇄ Scale S0–S8 (analytic) — one space, two projectionstoggle stubbed — switches the axis; nodes re-plot when scale-coded
Card upgrade (a) live — author/who-why/date/where + docent + edge-type tooltips on the seed card. W22 breadcrumb live on the seed card (native/citable state); prose nodes will render sequence/¶N + honesty-rail when they fill — same widget, two states (talmud_card_spec_2026-06-13.md). Discipline: density moved off color (canon §C: hue = which tradition you're in) → opacity. Importance moved off color → size. No channel carries two meanings.
X-projection: readable view — X carries shape, not meaning
T10 artistic reimagination — ORTHOGONAL (a parallel axis, not a rung)fills only with artistic-medium works — never prose
T9 living lineagerow to fill — together
T8 revival / recoveryrow to fill — together
T7 degraded popular formrow to fill — together
T6 confessional codificationrow to fill — together
T5 scholarly commentary (emic · etic)the big band — 195 passages wait here

T1 — the insight itself: never held directly, only inferred from T2
