99 Atlas Practice / Reality-Bearing Connection
Reality-Bearing Connection
Reality-Bearing Connection names a connection that can carry reality through trace, read, bearing, and retrace rather than merely linking information. It is the value held by the Atlas: not the mapped body as an object, but the connection that remains returnable to what supports it.
Trace
- Atlas supplies the mapped body where the connection is placed.
- Bearing supplies the carrying condition the connection must preserve.
- Retrace supplies the return path that keeps the connection checkable.
Read
Reality-Bearing Connection becomes recognisable where a link, placement, or relation can be followed back through what supports it and still carry the reality it claims to connect.
