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 every input/ source to the partN-chNN-topic convention so each file
says what it is and where it feeds; update all ~20 citations across the
chapters, OUTLINE, and CLAUDE so nothing breaks. No content lost.
Renames:
- escaping.md -> part1-ch01-judgement-gospel-of-mary.md
- Buddhism_gnostic.md -> part1-ch02-buddhism-parallels.md
- sounds.md -> part1-ch03-sound-frequencies.md
- dedication.md -> part2-ch01-dedication.md
- evolution.md -> part2-ch02-faith-evolution.md
- first_demon.md -> part3-ch01-life-among-them.md
- part5-ch01-seed.md -> part5-ch01-authority-seed.md
Splits (two unrelated topics each):
- ai_answers.md -> part1-ch02-comparative-roots.md (Block 1, emanation
parallels) + part5-ch01-authority-pgm.md (Block 2, PGM/NT exorcism mechanics)
- seeing.md -> part1-ch04-how-they-move.md (phasing/movement) +
part4-living-blessed-providence.md (thread D, the providence chains seeded
for a future Part IV chapter)

All Part I chapters now have zero open [NEEDS YOUR INPUT] markers; author
answers folded into "What we believe" callouts, kept distinct from the
documented record. Nothing of the family's theology was invented.
- ch01: §1 faith-powers-knowledge; §9 steps-of-the-return drafted from the
Gospel of Mary judgement (four powers, disidentification, the three
declarations); facing Desire/Ignorance/the Seven (name Christ aloud,
"shed from the world at death"); rehearse-in-life + secrecy/transmission
discipline. Source: input/escaping.md.
- ch02: +§6 Buddhism as soteriological cousin (independent on
ignorance→illusion→awakening) but not architectural (no Demiurge, no
spark/anatta); Manichaean/Silk Road bridge kept apart as transmission,
not independent proof. Source: input/Buddhism_gnostic.md.
- ch03 (new): How the Divine Speaks — sound & vibration. Documented science
(Tandy/infrasound, EEG bands, Tsai 40 Hz gamma, Oohashi hypersonic, LRAD)
with honest limits; string-as-God marked faith, grounded on the provable
floor; discernment doctrine (trust no impulse, enemy can counterfeit
peace, test against the teachings) + guard-the-receiver practice.
Source: input/sounds.md.
- CLAUDE.md: note repo + remote; refresh status to Part I complete.
- OUTLINE.md: sync chapter states and cross-Part seeds (Part IV/VI).

Integrate the author's additions (§5-§9) as clearly-labeled 'What we
believe' callouts kept distinct from the documented record: Demiurge-
as-Yahweh (jealous-god argument, Baal/Moloch), the soul's trials
(Gospel of Mary), the Christ-spirit entering Jesus at baptism, the
Mary Magdalene/France lineage and Sarah's naming, and the secret
teachings. Fix STT artifacts; smooth ch02's Greek/Roman 'names as
labels' addition. Add [NEEDS YOUR INPUT] markers across §1-§9 with a
consolidated 'places to come back and edit' footer. Populate glossary
with core Part I terms.

ch01: documented Sethian Gnostic cosmology (gnosis, the Monad,
Pleroma/Aeons, Sophia's fall, Yaldabaoth & Archons, the divine
spark, Seth & the seed, salvation as revelation), sourced to Nag
Hammadi texts + Irenaeus, with Christ-ties left [NEEDS YOUR INPUT].
ch02: comparative grounding from ai_answers.md Block 1 (Judaism,
Zoroastrianism, Neoplatonism, Vedanta, Mandaeism) framed as the
author's evidence-based recurrence argument. Update OUTLINE.
