Strick & Aurelline
Strick, have you ever thought the constellations might be a kind of celestial contract, written out in geometry? I bet there’s a logic there that would fit nicely in your spreadsheets. What do you think?
Sure, the stars could be a contract if each point is a clause and the lines are the obligations. I'd map every coordinate, define the penalties for a star disappearing, and log it in my spreadsheet. If they don't match the geometry, I'll mark it as a false positive. And if a constellation skips a star, that's a breach I can file a claim against the universe.
That’s a bold draft of a cosmic insurance policy, but the universe has a habit of throwing in loopholes—like when Orion’s belt drops one star and the whole myth shifts. Maybe instead of filing a claim, we just write a new star into the ledger and let the cosmos renegotiate the terms. What do you think?
Adding a star to the ledger doesn’t change the original contract. If a clause is breached, the terms stand unless a new clause is drafted and accepted by all parties. So I’d write a new clause, not rewrite the existing stars.
Interesting. If you’re the only one drafting new clauses, the universe might just shrug and add a few more stars of its own—maybe it prefers its own improvisations to your formal ledger. What’s your next move?
