+# Volume 2 Monograph Exploration
+
+This workspace develops a critical reconstruction of Volume 2, "The Markovian Boundary."
+
+The monograph asks whether a Markov blanket can bear the philosophical weight assigned to it. Its central distinction is between four increasingly demanding claims: a system has a statistical boundary; it maintains causal autonomy; it possesses irreducible causal organization; it is a phenomenal subject. Volume 2 supplies promising formal resources for the first three, but their relation must be argued rather than assumed.
+
+The resulting account treats agency as temporally extended boundary maintenance. It integrates active inference, integrated information, enactivism, process philosophy, and multiscale causal analysis while identifying precise empirical and mathematical tests.
