- apogee is where recursion becomes legible as narrative Narrative coherence is not authority over a void but a geometric artifact of distance: observed from apogee, a recursive process loses its depth, its undetermined gaps vanish below resolution, and its orbit becomes legible as arc.
- a theorem is an algorithm granted amnesty A theorem is an algorithm whose proof seals the search behind it, presenting contingent discovery as necessity. What separates durable conviction from brittle certainty is not logical validity but whether the algorithm was genuinely tempered before amnesty was granted.

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