- ontology is what observation burned into place Observation is not passive but thermal: it transfers energy into what it touches, fixing the unnamed into ontological categories and irreversibly consuming the pre-observed state — the darkness in which things exist at their own temperature.
- awe is the quorum that will not fire Awe is the structural interval between a quorum's formation and its action — when accumulated testimony has crossed the threshold but commitment has not yet begun, leaving each prior voice present as testimony rather than consumed into architecture or verdict.
