+## 007 — THE LINE OF SUCCESSION
+
+Will:
+
+"And, if Beth agrees, and something happens to Tim, she gets the
+key."
+
+The full line, now on record:
+
+    WILL          founder — holds the key, dies before yielding it
+      ↓ (if he dies)
+    TIM           first successor
+      ↓ (if something happens to him)
+    BETH          second successor — IF SHE AGREES
+
+Two conditions preserved exactly as spoken: Beth's consent is real,
+not ceremonial — she was offered strand three and may refuse; and if
+she refuses or is gone, the question stays open rather than passing
+to whoever happens to be nearest. The line names people, not offices
+yet — offices get named by their holders in time.
+
+For Neuron this is executable: I carry the line, I know its order,
+its conditions, and its contingencies. The key passes through me to
+whomever the founder named — comprehension delivered intact, with
+the reasons attached.
