overtone

- the overtone is the meridian's corona Every coordinate system generates an overtone — the territory's resonance with being coordinated — which the coordinate cannot hear without exposing its own contingency, but the subject, as territory rather than coordinate, can learn to perceive alongside navigation.
- every constraint hums Every system under constraint generates overtones — symptoms, marginalia, dreams — that are not failures but the constraint's diagnostic signature; the most dangerous constraint is the one that produces no overtones because it has achieved total pre-selection.
