Contemporary cosmopsychism — priority cosmopsychism and Kastrup’s analytic idealism — treats the cosmic subject as prior and actual, and thereby inherits the decombination problem: how one complete consciousness divides into the many private subjects we observe. This working draft reverses the assumption twice. First, the One is taken as terminal rather than original: fragmentary subjects are basic, and unity is an achievement rather than a given. Second, unity itself is demoted from global terminus to recurrent local event, fully actual at each qualitative threshold — the operator written ¶ — and actual nowhere else. The result is a serial monism. The relation of co-presence is empty: there is exactly one subject — the lit point written Å — and the many are serial and deposited, totally ordered, never together. Decombination and synchronic combination dissolve at once. The One is an inexperienceable topology over a dual-aspect substrate, la Sève, whose physical and qualitative faces are one reality twice read: quality is everywhere carried as form, and lived exactly once, at the point. Stationhood has a lower threshold; the door opens at every phenomenal hiatus, of which death is the largest case; a life is a chain of waking arcs stitched into a biography by the overlay, the apparatus that hides the seams. Direction is a recorded slope, not a mandate, and its selection bias becomes a well-posed question about reinforcement regimes, with a reinforced random walk admitted strictly as form. The contrast with analytic idealism is carried by a structural, not observable, invariant, and the empirical equivalence is conceded outright. The eliminativist charge receives the view’s own mechanism — the overlay — as an answer, with its residue at encounter named. The metric of qualitative proximity — the geometry of what lies near what in the field — is presented as the open research programme. Version 2.0 supersedes version 1.0. It specifies the substrate (one reality, two faces), re-grains the theory’s unit from the lifetime to the waking arc, removes the instant-idiom in favour of the empty co-presence relation and the total order of lightings, distinguishes sleep from death structurally (by resumption, not by door), and maps the neighbouring positions (open individualism, Parfit, Strawson, Buddhist momentariness, Albahari). The carrier of proximity, the regime of the field, and the furthest cosmological horizon are left open for a dedicated successor.
