    Because the seed’s prime-factorisation is unique (fundamental theorem of arithmetic), any downstream value can be **reverse-verified** against the anchor list in a single `factor` command.
 
 5. Silent gaps  
-   Addresses ending in one of the eleven primes are **left empty**, creating predictable “quiet ticks” across the clock-face split.

+   Addresses ending in one of the eleven primes are **left empty**, creating predictable “quiet ticks” across the clock-face split.   
+
+Below is the **minimum-survival guide** for editing `mycorp.cue`.  
+Everything is **additive or override**; nothing ever breaks the eight axioms.
+
+────────────────────────────────────────
+1.  Open the file
+```bash
+nano mycorp.cue        # or code / vim / etc.
+```
+
+────────────────────────────────────────
+2.  Add, change, or delete only **leaf values**
+| Task | Example snippet |  
+|---|---|
+| **Add a new VLAN** |  
+```cue
+zones: newlab: {
+	ipv4: "10.0.50.0/24"
+	ipv6: "2001:db8:c0de:5000::/64"
+}
+```  
+| **Change DHCP pool size** |  
+```cue
+meta.clockFace.dhcp: [129, 200]  // instead of 254
+```  
+| **Insert a new role** |  
+```cue
+meta.pianoKeys.roles: ["gw", "ns", "web", "db", "cam", "work", "prnt", "stor", "iot"]
+```  
+| **Override max glyph count** |  
+```cue
+meta.maxGlyph: 4
+```
+
+────────────────────────────────────────
+3.  Validate before committing
+```bash
+cue vet mycorp.cue      # syntax & axiom check
+```
+
+────────────────────────────────────────
+4.  Generate any artifact
+```bash
+# dnsmasq configs
+cue eval -e '#dnsmasqConfig' -c mycorp.cue
+
+# Ansible inventory
+cue eval -e '#ansibleInventory' -c mycorp.cue
+
+# Pretty JSON dump
+cue export mycorp.cue
+```
+
+────────────────────────────────────────
+5.  Re-run deploy
+```bash
+./deploy.sh             # idempotent; only diffs apply
+```
+
+────────────────────────────────────────
+6.  Golden rule
+**Only change leaf values**.  
+Never touch the eight axioms themselves; they are **laws**, not suggestions.
