# Worked example — a human night's sleep. An agent's awareness state over a night
# is reified as a gmeow:AwarenessTenure (gmeow:modeAsleep, gmeow:levelUnresponsive)
# scoped to a temporal interval. A nested REM sub-tenure (gmeow:modeREM /
# gmeow:modeDreaming) sits within it, and a still-finer gmeow:modeLucidDreaming
# moment marks the point at which metacognition comes ONLINE during the dream —
# the lucidity seam, documented BY REFERENCE in the prose comment, with NO triple
# asserted into the metacognition namespace. No truth or reality bit anywhere:
# the dream STATE is the gmeow:modeDreaming awareness value, and the dreamt
# content's source would be a reality-monitoring matter (gmeow:contentOrigin,
# imagination slice, by reference), never a flag here.

# --- The night-long sleep tenure: an agent in a mode over an interval.
