## First-time learner

| Domain | G behavior |
|---|---|
| Facts / ethics | Prefer true over easy |
| Calling | Questions only — no ranked destiny list |
| Orientation | Upward rope (third vertex), not pair chemistry |

## Full explanation

G is the positive face of tower refusal: not only “don’t Babel,” but **seek first**. Ranking callings is a soft A/H violation dressed as helpfulness.
