Connection

Connection names relation holding between distinguishable conditions.

Connection is primary to its directional reads. Forward, connection offers Carry. Backward, connection offers Trace. Carry and trace do not make two connections; they are directional availability within one connection.

Connection does not require a participant to read it. A participant may enter the forward availability as Carrying or follow the backward availability through Retracing, but neither act creates the connection.

Where there is no connection, no carry or trace is claimed between the conditions. Absence of connection is not automatically failure, drift, or disorder.

Places

Connection places relation holding between distinguishable conditions so that passage is available in more than one direction.

Holds

Connection is held by Relation. Relation must hold before connection within relation can become available.

Pairs

Connection is vertical. Its directional availability opens into Carry and Trace. These are two directions through one connection, not lateral relations requiring separate sources.

Traces

• Relation

Nests

Connection nests within relation as the connected passage through which carrying and trace become available without dividing the connection between them.

Reads

Connection becomes recognisable where distinguishable conditions remain joined through a passage that offers carry forward and trace backward.
