01 First Order/Carrier Mechanics/But
But
But carries contrast — relation interrupted by a contrasting condition. It does not name contradiction, rejection, or refusal by itself. But carries the relational role of contrast into later compounds while preserving the relation it interrupts. What is marked by but may remain related — contrast is not separation.
Trace
Read
But becomes recognisable where relation is read as joined and then interrupted by a contrasting condition.
