- a conserved orbit cannot grieve The closed-orbit figure for grief is structurally amnesiac: a conserved system returns unchanged and therefore registers nothing. Grief that genuinely costs is an inspiral or a delta — radiating away each pass, or fanning irreversibly — never a perpetual ellipse.
- zest is what the kiln cannot keep Zest is a rate of boundary-creation, not a substance, and any act of fixing — firing a delta into archipelago, notating a fugue into a score — preserves structure while destroying the oscillation that made the boundary alive.
