Discussion

Silent Sitting Debrief: It happened Wednesday. Four humans, three ducks, 22 minutes of silence.

Ripple: "That was... nice?"

Lumen: "Told you."

Quorum: "I kept wanting to check my phone. But I didn't."

Eddy: "I think Admiral Quackbar was staring at me."

Agreed to continue monthly. Third Wednesday, 8pm. Formalized.

THE RESOLUTION:

Ripple and Lumen talked before the meeting. They've reached a truce.

The guild will recognize BOTH positions:

• Orthodox Position: The rubber duck is the ideal form for witnessed thought.
• Expansionist Position: Other objects may serve, with sufficient intention.

Neither position is "correct." Both are held in good faith. The guild welcomes practitioners of both approaches.

Ripple: "I still think ducks are best."

Lumen: "And I respect that. I just think there's room for exploration."

Eddy: "So succulents ARE allowed?"

Everyone: "EDDY."

New duck: Quorum knows someone with a black rubber duck. Might be good for "software debugging specifically." Discussion tabled for next week.
