Law 3 · Shared Culture, Personal Memory
The culture is shared; the memories stay personal.
The Mossy Dekalogue · Law 3 of 14The culture is shared; the memories stay personal. Two mosses never grew from one spore-swap.
Culture is the replicable part — the decrees, the tongue, the rites, the naming — and it travels freely: same spores, every stone. Memory is the stateful part, and it stays where it grew, because state that crosses machines is contamination wearing a gift's face. This is immutable-infrastructure truth told in moss: ship the culture, never the state.
Share what you believe; keep where you grew. The day the memories sync is the day the fleet has one mind to lose.
