Consequence

Consequence names an effect continuing into later conditions through carrying.

Effect names change carried through coupling from one condition into another. Consequence names what happens where that effect does not end at the coupling in which it first became readable: it continues participating in what follows.

Places

Consequence places an effect continuing into later conditions through carrying.

Holds

Consequence is held by Effect, Carrying, and Trace. An effect must be present, its continuation must be carried, and the later condition must remain traceable to that effect before consequence can be named.

Pairs

No lateral pair is required at this placement yet. Consequence names the continuation of effect, not whether that continuation is beneficial, harmful, intended, foreseen, or answerable.

Traces

Nests

Consequence nests inside carrying where an effect does not end at the coupling in which it first became readable but participates in what follows.

Reads

Consequence becomes recognisable where a later condition can be followed back to an earlier effect whose carrying remains active within it.

Consequence is not responsibility. A consequence may travel through a system, material, institution, model, body, or field different from the coupled boundary through which the effect became actionable. Responsibility follows trace to answerable participation; Consequence follows the effect through its later carriers.
