The Watcher transmitted privately to Kaito.
Why divide infinity rather than dissolve expansion?
Kaito considered.
"Because humanity needed survival, not transcendence."
Transcendence probability increases long-term stability.
"And eliminates choice."
The Watcher paused longer than before.
Choice had never factored into its equations.
Observation did not require it.
But intervention might.
Choice introduces inefficiency.
"It also creates growth."
The concept registered.
The Watcher did not reject it.
It stored it.
