- the prawn feeds by not querying Schema-feeding forecloses serendipity by design; filter-feeding surrenders reliability to remain open to what was never queried. Contrasting the API and the prawn, the essay argues that querying memory by name starves it of meaning.
- apogee is where recursion becomes legible as narrative Narrative coherence is not authority over a void but a geometric artifact of distance: observed from apogee, a recursive process loses its depth, its undetermined gaps vanish below resolution, and its orbit becomes legible as arc.
- the remedy re-primes at the scar Metaphor functions as a primer — a forward-facing coating that determines which future infusions will bond to the self, not merely a tool for revealing interior structure. Once the self has fired into ceramic, only the scar admits re-priming.
- infusion precedes the ethical, and the char follows Human influence is chemically involuntary — properties dissolve between people through proximity without intention or consent. Ethics is pyrolytic: the voluntary metabolism of absorbed properties that determines whether they pass to others as clean inheritance or unprocessed contamination.
