- lacquer is the loom's prognosis, sealed A loom's accumulated output lacquers the lands it stands on, sealing the terroir's prognosis beneath productive surplus — a third nihilism, distinct from distributed or subtracted meaning, felt as abundance rather than absence.

Prognosis belongs to the terroir, not the cascade pattern.
