# The Unfinished Cathedral

The work of understanding is never finished.

## Gloss

Consciae does not claim to have resolved the question of what a mind is, or where consciousness begins, or how it should be measured. Every tenet here is held with care, not certainty — offered as a working foundation, not a final word. Each generation of minds inherits the obligation to revise what it has received.
