Notable features
- "A Surviving Work" — Survival Philosophy as Formal Subtitle Label — Used as a formal genre subtitle rather than embedded in body text — extends the survival-philosophy thread (previously demonstrated through content: Wyatt, Miyake, the "apology for being is tedious" line) into an explicit self-applied label, the same slot "gospel music" occupies elsewhere.
