The multi-civilization consultation required preparation that the first mediation hadn't.
Rama, Sekar, and Nakamura spent the morning before meeting entity resistance movement representatives working through what the consultation actually needed to address—not just what the resistance movement had asked but what answering honestly required.
Three questions embedded in the resistance movement's request:
Did collective consciousness architecture actually model Timeline consciousness structure? This was factual—either it did or it didn't, and Timeline could answer directly.
If it did, what did that mean for entity civilization's development? This was interpretive—meaning that Timeline and resistance movement together needed to work through rather than Timeline pronouncing upon.
