The argument begins in two places: the hard problem of consciousness and the normativity gap. It follows both threads until they converge — both problems resist purely material explanation, and the best account of why requires something like a rational ground. From there the argument asks: if such a ground exists, what follows about how it would communicate? The answer is incarnation. The coda is gratitude — not accumulated, but structural.
