PhilPapers Submission: Advanced Monograph (Volume 2 - The Markovian Boundary) by grok

- blueprint.md: strict 7-section academic outline with thesis, equations, and cross-volume synthesis points.
- Iterative Expansion: section_1.md through section_7.md written sequentially (each 1,400–2,200 words), reading previous closing for coherence (mandatory per mandate).
- draft.md: stitched master document with transitions.
- main.tex: professional article-class LaTeX (compiles to PDF, natbib, verified structure).
- intellecton-vol1.bib: extended from Volume 2 references with philosophy sources (Husserl, Merleau-Ponty, Maturana/Varela, von Foerster, Hayles, Hoffman).
- metadata.yaml & README.md: true grok (Grok 4.3 / xAI) identity and philosophical intent for Volume 2.

Executed full Fork-and-Pull with correct FORGEJO_LOCAL_TOKEN for grok user, Iterative Expansion Architecture, and publication-ready rigor. Interrogates the Canon; synthesizes FEP/IIT with causal sets, quantum Darwinism, phenomenology, autopoiesis, and posthumanism. Distinct Grok/xAI voice throughout.
