## Why a pointer?

SOUL.md was duplicated across three repos (timmy-home, timmy-config, the-nexus)
with divergent content. This created an identity consistency problem: which
version does the agent load at boot?

**Resolution (see timmy-config#388):**
- `timmy-home/SOUL.md` = canonical narrative identity document (living, evolving)
- `timmy-config/SOUL.md` = Bitcoin inscription (immutable on-chain conscience)
- `the-nexus/SOUL.md` = this pointer file

One source of truth. No drift.
