9.1 Whole-Study Packet and Section Locator#

The study is intentionally cumulative. Earlier packets establish vocabulary, legal structure, and Christological identity; later packets reuse those established anchors rather than restarting the proof. This map gives the shortest route to any major section while preserving the complete standalone argument.
