PART I

The Rendered World

How events become lived worlds.

Event, Signal, Trace

The sentence that changed after the quarter · The event · The signal

Five archives at one intersection · Persistence and re-entry · Five registers, five characteristic errors

The question already running · How a question becomes a world · The signal no one else weighted

Before the story · What the render carries · The laugh in the back row

The face she meant to remember · What stops a render from becoming anything · Status is not strength
