The framing that survived the session: books live as files in ~/Books/<slug>/, the reader UI is a beautiful window onto book.md, highlights are lines in the file, and the dream cycle picks them up overnight the same way it picks up anything else in ~/brain/. No database, no MCP, no export. The 'compounding property' follows automatically: every highlight becomes searchable, embeddable, and linkable in the same graph as every other note.
