defend-is-challenge-of-challenge
IN premise
`defend` works by calling `challenge` on the challenge node itself, creating a recursive dialectical structure where truth values resolve automatically through the same outlist mechanism.
Summary
When someone defends a belief against a challenge, the system handles it by turning the tables — it challenges the challenge itself. This means defense isn't a separate mechanism but reuses the same challenge logic recursively, so the existing outlist machinery automatically resolves whether the original belief or its challenge wins.
