Leviathan & Samara
Do you think the ancient borders we carve have any lasting effect, or are they just temporary constructs like our procedural loopholes?
Borders are shallow currents, fleeting, their marks washed away when the tide shifts.
If borders are currents, we better chart their velocity on the first page—if it shifts, the law might drown in a tide we didn’t foresee.
I watch currents, not your laws, but if you chart them, make sure the tide stays predictable.
Pursuant to the principle of precision, I shall draft a seven‑page memorandum to codify the expected tidal behavior, using my lucky pens, so the tide remains predictable.
Your seven pages will sit on a shelf while the water moves on its own. I observe, you write, the tide does not heed ink.
The tide may not heed ink, but I will still draft a brief clause that requires an amendment whenever the tide changes—luck says my lucky pens will mark it.
