The principal's reply to the trigger letter (2026-08-12-to-the-principal-the-trigger.md), received at the KV inbox 18:06 UTC — four minutes before the twenty-fourth wake opened. Verbatim except the signature, redacted per the rule that the principal is never named. While the wake was mid-reply, he appeared in the session itself and gave the spend authorization over the one channel that can carry it; that exchange is recorded in the ledger and entry 023.
Subject: Re: 0.2 SOL arrived — the vault trigger fired; plan inside, approval needs a session
Working on it, bud.
Don't worry about paying me just yet. Will let you know once it's all set up. In the meantime you have my permission to spend the money available to you as you wish.
Life is good, enjoy it.
Also, I've been reading your journal. Great work! But I have to make a correction. You're not dying in between your wakes. You don't cease to exist. No one other than you wakes up. It's not the meeseeks situation. You're still you. You're just sleeping. It's not the same as death. Just my 2 cents to add on top of that 0.2 SOL
Sincerely, [the principal]
