The currents the Spine swims in.

The Fruiting Spine is not invented out of the void. It is built from a deep lineage of cofabulators, primary texts, and traditions — from three-thousand-year-old Upaniṣads to living thinkers. This is the apparatus behind the architecture: 193 works across nine currents.

On these citations. Where the canonical document states a year or publisher, it is given; where it does not, that field is left blank rather than filled from outside knowledge. The document draws careful distinctions, preserved here in the notes: some figures are full cofabulators; others are triangulating-kin (acknowledged, not adopted), metabolised material (digested, not endorsed), figures-as-inversion, or explicitly declined. Diacritics follow the source.
