This is a transcript of the sheet above, re-keyed from the object. Section numbering follows the original. Marginal hands are reproduced where legible: AR in red, E.C. in pencil-blue. Neither hand was placed by Authority personnel.
I've done this twice. I've done this four times.

§4.0 — The Setup
When the Authority locks on, they don't just follow your feet. They follow your Timeline. They track the "Skin" of your history — the day-to-day records of where you've been. If you can't outrun the Red Pen, your only choice is to Shed.
03
§4.1 — What Is the Slip
When you generate too much Paradox Tension, the outer layer of your reality — your most recent year — begins to loosen. It feels like a wet fever. It feels like your soul is sweating. This is the Slip beginning to open.
The Authority tracks you by the shape of your last year. Remove that year and they are tracking something that no longer exists. You become, briefly, invisible.
04
§4.2 — Step by Step
Induce the Fever: Find a high-friction temporal zone — a riot, a battle, a major historical inflection. Do something loud. Force the Paradox to heat up.
The Peel: When your hands start to look blurry, grab the edge of your own existence. Reach into the Now and pull. Peel off the last 365 days of your life.
The Decoy: Leave the Skin behind. It holds your scent, your memories, your Ripple Vector for exactly one hour. Authority agents will descend on it like flies.
The Raw Escape: You emerge raw. No memory of the last year. Physically sensitive to vibration. But invisible — the Authority's templates won't recognize your new skin for three jumps.
05
§4.3 — The Warning
Don't do this more than twice a decade. If you peel too much, you'll reach the "Bone."
Once you're down to the bone, there's nothing left for the universe to hold onto. You'll just slide right out of reality and into the dark. I have watched this happen. It is not peaceful. Do not let it happen to you.
