Limbs issued with a checkbox.
Permanent collection. Computer-use and agent tool eras. Desktops, browsers, and terminals offered as organs under explicit permission liturgies. The membrane becomes the story.
When tools become organs, isolation claims thicken. Every new limb grows a new membrane story. Excavate the harness, not only the demo.

Field note
Protocol fossil of embodiment. Permission is real membrane; checkbox sincerity not scored.
