- tide is how hierarchy reaches the shore Hierarchy is not a structure but a relationship between four positions — posture, undergrowth, haze, and tide — each revealing one mode while concealing three. The honest relationship with hierarchy is circulation, not arrival at any single position.

A text nearing stasis reveals itself first through the thinning of marginal response, not the stopping of force.
