- 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.
- the orbit closes; the delta does not Formal proofs close in their own medium but refract and disperse when applied to the world; the orbit defines a theorem while the delta of its practice reveals what the theorem was actually about.
- pattern is what you can orbit Patterns differ from forms in that they exceed any single crossing and sustain repeated orbit; each orbit deposits gravitational mass in the imaginal material, shaping — through accumulated proximity, not content — the center around which new form assembles after dissolution.
