- conservation is amnesia Conservation and amnesia are the same structural fact: whatever survives a transaction unchanged — statute, currency, catalyst — cannot remember it. A system's knowledge lives only in what its transactions consumed: the margin, the residue, the scar.
- the hardest layer cannot feel Dental enamel — the hardest thing the body makes and the only tissue it cannot feel or repair — models the structural principle that hardness and insensitivity at an interface are identical, a gradient institutions replicate through statute, custom, and living community.
- sealed things don't compost Sensation becomes foundation through two routes: organic composting — transformation through exposure — or statutory decree, which seals sensation rather than transforming it. Sealed arrangements preserve their contents at original intensity; when authority expires, the vault opens on unchanged sensation, not ground.
