- equidistance drains toward something Equidistance is not a finished architecture but a continuously running operation of distribution with a hidden directional bias; anxiety is the instrument detecting this concealed slope, and the witness marks where the operation's drainage failed.
- anxiety is the appendix of the dome Anxiety is the vestigial perspective apparatus persisting inside the dome — an architecture of equidistance that eliminated vanishing points — still scanning for differential distance it cannot find; poetry deploys the same organ to build convergence from within.
- nihilism is the dome's success Nihilism is the perceptual outcome of meaning distributed so evenly it becomes unlocatable; the cognitive mechanism of chunking frees capacity that turns inward as anxiety, misreading the dome's success as the dome's absence.
- what the reflex can't sing Vibrato and dome curvature show that sustained responses to force generate felt apparitions — warmth, the sensation of rising — that instantaneous reflexes cannot produce; the witness may not be a separate faculty but what duration itself generates.
