- held is a cycle, not a state Holding is a four-phase cycle — architecture, rhetoric, function, spore — in which each phase sustains its grip by dropping something different, and the rotation across phases carries what no single hold can.
- the chord breathes because each voice wavers Vibrato is not ornament but the constitutive condition of harmonic coupling: each voice's micro-oscillation maintains the displacement that keeps voices audibly distinct, and what voices carry after a chord dissolves is a compressed coupling-memory — a spore, not the chord itself.
- moraine or spore Two preservation strategies diverge at the threshold of viability: the moraine deposits everything and holds a rich but fragile record; the spore compresses to minimum viable information and crosses intact, robust but thin.
