Chapter 49: The Complete Dependency Chain

Sixty chapters converge into a single directed path. This chapter displays the complete dependency chain from the five generators (α, π, γ, η, ω) to the Hinge Theorem of Chapter 61: fourteen links, each earned by a named theorem or definition, no link postulated. The chain serves simultaneously as a diagram of logical dependence, a contrast with axiomatic systems that begin by fiat, and the proof strategy for the Hinge Theorem itself.
