Ingress (Source Portal)
Definition
Ingress is the operation of entry through the Source Portal (Position 10). It is how consciousness enters a 22-step cycle — the threshold-traversal that initiates the manifest sequence. Ingress also receives Ring 7’s aligned output from the previous cycle (the octave return), making it both first-entry and recursive-entry.
