Add Sethian Genesis (ch01 §8) + "older than the churches" antiquity (ch02)
From input/part1-sethian-genesis-research.md (compiled research). ch01 — new §8 "The Garden Retold" (Sethian Genesis adopted as family belief): - documented Sethian inversion (serpent = Instructor, fruit = liberation; Apocryphon of John / Hypostasis of the Archons / On the Origin of the World) - belief: serpent = Sophia finishing the rescue of §4; fruit = the spark/gnosis; the Demiurge brands knowledge "forbidden" to guard his worship and the power it feeds him (ties to §6). Eden = how we first woke up, not how we fell. - §9 (Seth): "gnosis first descended on Seth" - §6 (Archons): Sethian texts tie the Archons to the Enoch fallen angels — grounds the §5 fallen-angels reading - §11 Key Texts: add the Apocalypse of Adam - renumbered: Garden §8, Seth §9, Salvation/steps-of-return §10, Key Texts §11; all cross-refs updated (ch01 footer, Part V, CLAUDE, GLOSSARY, OUTLINE) ch02 — new section "How Old Is This, Really? — Older Than the Churches": Sethianism/Gnosticism is pre-Christian / at least as old (Scholem; heterodox- Jewish roots), with honest source-tension (Turner's 2nd-c. crystallization; Irenaeus/Pseudo-Tertullian) and the late-Coptic-copies caveat. Not a daughter of the church. GLOSSARY: add "the serpent (of Eden)" and "the forbidden fruit / the apple." Rename research input to the partN-topic convention.

Belief: divine from above (peace) & within (clarity), enemy from below (dread); "God is the string, His intent the frequency" kept as faith but grounded on the provable floor. **Settled doctrine — discernment:** *trust no impulse on arrival*; the enemy **can counterfeit peace**; test every prompting against the teachings (don't judge by feeling). **Practice:** we do *not* wield sound — guard the receiver, never act on raw impulse. **Cross-link confirmed** to Part III (Static/Legion, Three Taps, The Scream, Rock House). **Seeds Part IV/VI:** impulse-discipline + wards against hostile sound.
