# Upgrade to normal

**🟡 Intermediate · Lesson 28**

upgrade_to_normal - a lesser conduit GROWS UP in place. Lessers are unnamed child scopes (lesson 07); in a dynamic world one can be promoted to a full named citizen: registered in the world, discoverable by name in the cloud, able to do everything a normal conduit does. The promotion retains what the child already built for disposal, but owns a NEW EMPTY Spellbook: former definitions are no longer visible. Bind the new root's definitions explicitly. Dynamic-only verb: in a static world the same call refuses.
