Training has three movements. The first is location: the mentor finds their place within the seven initiates and twelve tenets, and articulates the material they carry in the shared language, so that it can stand beside the rest without contradiction. The second is calibration: the mentor learns the sequencewhat must precede what, why depth is metered, how to recognize readiness in a student and to withhold what a student is not yet ready to meet. And the third is communion: mentors are brought into relationship with one another, into a network and in time a council, so that they teach not as isolated authorities but as a coherent body, each presencing the genius of the others. A mentor trained this way does not merely possess a method. They have become a node of the living matrix through which the work is transmitted.

Within the Coherence Thesis. the mentors are the carriersthe proof that coherence is transmitted, not published; that a thesis becomes a civilization only by passing through living people who can hand it on. Gather the mentors, deepen their practice, and weave them into one network, and the work at last has somewhere to live.
