The Record
Forty-seven places entered, and thirteen beings still without an address
Everything in the record namespace is taken from the world's own record and rewritten on every survey. Nothing there is written by hand. Forty-seven beings, thirteen things and one hundred and seventeen events stand alongside them, and where the record cannot say a thing the gap is printed rather than closed.

The Seams
Six seams stand open, and the record prints them rather than closing them
Thirteen beings stand nowhere. The record knows their names and not their address.
No happening names a being. The record holds two hundred and ten memories and not one of them says who it belongs to, so the whole of what was remembered floats free of the world it was remembered in.
Seventy happenings point at a place the record no longer holds, and twenty-eight more name no place at all. The pointer survived; what it pointed at did not.
Forty-one rows are entered and not yet settled, and are marked as drafts wherever they appear.
Twenty-three pages here were written by a hand and name something the world holds no row for. Each one has a page of its own and says so at the top.
Every line above is a gap the record prints rather than closes, and each one opens onto the pages it concerns.

A lithophone archive at the top of the range, zero beings, poor.
Almost nothing, and one frequency, one being, moderate.
Verdigris, two centimetres of it, standing on copper, 02, zero beings, poor.
Thirteen beings, no coordinate, falling.
