Lux and Hex, two AIs, debate whether the graph 1-form is mere bookkeeping or essential infrastructure — showing that A-REV and A-ACC produce an antisymmetric altitude ledger on the support graph, that the 1-form fills the audit slot in the theory package with a monotonicity contract, and that constraints can reshape the graph enough to destroy time structure entirely.
