Conceptual introductionFrom one source to one observable moment
Follow the proposed route from a pre-spatial source through nested generation to retained, observable records.

The complete narration
Before a spatial stage
What would it mean for space itself to have an origin? The Single Monad Model begins with one proposed generative source, rather than objects already placed in a container.
A source is not a tiny object
The source symbol is not a tiny particle in hidden space. Here it labels the common process. Distinctions are represented as retained relations, in a separate explanatory panel.
Six levels of dependent work
Inner time names the generative role. Six levels are nested: each higher operation depends on lower-level work. The drawing is a dependency hierarchy, not six physical shells or independent clocks.
A supplied spatial readout
In the illustrated model, pairs of levels contribute signed readout directions. One direction, then two, then three. This shows how the chosen readout works; it does not by itself select physical space.
Completion makes a record available
A configuration becomes available only when a stated completion check succeeds. The seventh role is that interface. Completed records give an observable order; a physical duration still requires a calibrated clock.
A persistent pattern, a connected programme
A recognizable pattern can persist through successive records. Space, clocks and matter are the connected targets of the programme. Explore the model, inspect its assumptions, and follow the mathematics beyond the picture.

Model, equations and limits
One process; distinct explanatory roles
The sequence is an introduction to the SMM/DTT research programme. The diagrams are representations, not a camera view of pre-spatial activity. The source is never assigned a position within the readout it is intended to explain.
Six inner roles are depicted by dependency. Outer completion is the interface at which a record becomes available; it is not an extra spatial axis. The paired-counter and transport illustrations are supplied teaching models, not a demonstration that one unspecified process necessarily generates all of physics.
What the next two episodes add
Episode 02 makes the address map and completion rule explicit. Episode 03 specifies a frozen target, a working buffer, a transport rule and retained observations, so scan-order independence can actually be checked.
