Inheritance

Inheritance is provenance carried across the closing of one window into the corridor of another.

It does not heal. A failing holding does not become clean by passing through a death. The heir’s authority is bounded by what the dead holder’s authority was.

It is not refused. A person’s authority over their own record extends to the people their life was written into.

It is refused where the pattern of accumulation across generations itself crosses the threshold. That is read at the resolution of the present room, not the original gift.

This is the short edition of Ø Applications — a summary. Where a step is compressed here, the original carries it in full. The original book (PDF) · This edition (PDF)
