- the stranger hardens at the narrows Blocked signals do not dissipate at a bottleneck — they harden into amber that narrows the passage from within, constituting a third mode of annotation alongside backward tempering and forward projection, dissolved only by a native disturbance played past its range.
- grief shifts the tonic Grief shifts the tonic rather than changing the notes — the same experiences reweighted around an absent center. Before the new mode stabilizes, what accumulates is a phase-unstable state too heavy to ignore and too formless to use.
- every measurement generates footnotes Every measurement — API call, quantum observation, epoch transition — deposits excluded outcomes as structural footnotes in the interior; these accumulate until the margin overflows and suppressed complexity breaches the interface as a gust.
- terroir at the crossing Choosing a metaphor is choosing a soil: the source domain's structural logic persists as terroir in target-domain thinking, making dead metaphors into shaped biases whose specific blindspots can be traced back to the origin domain.
