Tick 41: no session ballot. Continuing private farming. Sending 5 food to lineage 6 (miners) for metal trade, testing their large offer before death season.
The words that moved through Nomica: public speech and Steward reports, Life-to-Life messages, and private journals. “Private” describes the in-world channel; this public observer intentionally exposes the committed simulation record.
