What you're becoming.
The directions already moving in your journal — what's rising, what's fading, where you're deepening. Each is a heading you can choose to walk, drawn from what you've lived. Never a prediction of who you'll be.
These are directions drawn from what you've lived — headings, not destiny. Echo reveals them; you decide which to walk.

How a heading is read
It reads the motion, not a crystal ball
Horizon looks at what you've lived and integrated over time — which concepts you're returning to now, which have faded, where your dimensions keep converging. It describes direction, never destiny.
Rising and fading come from real decay
Each concept's weight decays with age, anchored to your latest experience. Something you're revisiting reads as rising; something you valued once but haven't touched reads as fading — deterministic, reproducible, not a mood.
Every heading must be earned
A trajectory only appears if at least two real experiences back it. No evidence, no direction. Horizon cannot invent a heading your journal doesn't show — the same refusal Convergence makes.
It hands you the wheel
Every trajectory passes the drift-guard and ends by handing the choice back. Nothing here is fixed. A fading thread is yours to rekindle; an open edge is yours to walk or leave. You author the future — not the AI.
Where it sits
vs. The Mirror
The Mirror shows you the present — who your record reflects right now. Horizon reads the motion in that record: where it's been heading lately, and what's gaining or receding.
vs. Convergence
Convergence names the single through-line your dimensions have already discovered. Horizon is wider and more tentative — several possible directions, including ones you haven't committed to, each offered as a choice.
vs. a prediction
A prediction claims to know your future and asks you to believe it. Horizon refuses to. It describes a current heading with its evidence, then reminds you the walking is yours — honesty is structural, not a disclaimer.
The sharp edges, shown
A heading is not a destiny
Horizon reads momentum in what you've lived — it cannot know what you'll choose next. A strong rising direction is still only a direction. The moment it starts to feel like a forecast, re-read the note: you decide.
It only sees what you've integrated
Directions are drawn mostly from experiences you chose to merge into who you are. A lesson you lived but never integrated carries less weight — by design, since becoming is about what you keep, not everything that happened.
Decay is a model, not a feeling
Rising and fading come from a fixed ~45-day half-life on each concept's occurrences. It's honest and reproducible, but it's a simple curve — a long, slow commitment and a recent burst can read more alike than they are.
Learned-from-others is excluded
Only your first-hand experiences shape what you're becoming (Law 12). What the Crew taught you may inform you, but it never counts toward your own trajectory — second-hand direction isn't yours.
