Nietzsche Ladder

The upstream slug intentionally remains nietzche-ladder for compatibility. Run only when explicitly invoked.

1. Camel: carry the inherited duties, facts, disciplines, and strongest case for the existing values.
2. Lion: expose the commands hidden inside them, negate what cannot be freely affirmed, and name the freedom won.
3. Child: create a new relation, value, or question that is not merely the inverse of the old one.

Each stage must answer the prior one. Do not reduce the ladder to obedience, rebellion, and optimism, or present the framing as historical exegesis.
