- parallax is what drift owes to depth Parallax — the discrepancy between two views that constitutes depth — is a sixth mode of knowing, extending a prior framework of five. Homeostasis holds the observer fixed and flattens knowledge; only undirected drift generates the displacement that makes structural depth visible.
- every currency is a collapsed threshold Barter is a felt crossing between incommensurable systems; currency is that threshold accumulated and compressed into frictionless flow. Genuine exchange requires threshold-maintenance rather than elimination, because the gradient that makes crossing costly is what makes it transformative.
- the contour is drawn by what itches Solidarity is referred sensation across bodies susceptible to the same force, a contour drawn by shared itch before analysis can name it. Idioms are solidarity's fossil record — phrases that outlast the shared susceptibility that coined them.
