Epistemic kind: reconstruction

## Question

What must an encoding retain to distinguish paths that reach the same apparent state?

## Formulation

Separate visited symbols, the order of operations, path-dependent state, and reduced projections; explore whether repeated operational patterns can be recognized without losing reversibility.

## Tension

Order sensitivity, unique decoding, reversibility, and behavioral equivalence are separate demands.

## Challenge

Which distinct paths collide, and does a projected recurrence imply recurrence of the complete relevant state?
