  "description": "How the Verse moves — circulation, not anatomy. Each branch is a process lane (a loop); the curved arrows are cross-lane relations that close the loops: reasoning becomes build, build becomes deploy, deploy becomes public, conversation becomes memory, memory re-enters reasoning, verification reports back to the operator. Read the arrows to see the machine breathe. Authority overlay (lane 7) names who governs what.",
