Reality is undisturbed.
Which changes nothing you owe anyone.
There are two ways to track what is happening to the world, and they are not rival forecasts. The first tracks configurations — what matter is arranged into, how fast, by whom. The second tracks recognition — whether anyone is present, and whether the grip a being holds on itself has eased. Neither causes the other. The same conditions appear on both, and on the first they are the story while on the second they are the weather.
These are readings at one ring or another. Nothing here is a destination, and there is no arriving.
