It is the ordinary discipline of anyone who has built a data pipeline: you do not store the report, you store the record and project the report. What I did was recognize that a sentence is a record, that a paragraph is a record, that a book is a record, and that the surfaces we call _prose_, _epigraph_, _poster_, _post_, and _feed item_ are projections. Once that is admitted, the only real question is where the projection instructions live, and my answer has been the same for twenty-six years: **they live inside the sentence, written by the author, at the moment the sentence is composed.** **Source:** [[projects/Dual-Render Authorship and the Atomic Markdown Double-Brace Grammar|Dual-Render Authorship: The Atomic Markdown Double-Brace Grammar]], [[working/control/pre-dual-render-integration-2026-08-31/projects/Dual-Render Authorship and the Atomic Markdown Double-Brace Grammar|Dual-Render Authorship: The Atomic Markdown Double-Brace Grammar]] <!-- bryant-content-generator:end -->
