17. Iteration as ground state — revising rather than finishing
The corpus shows continuous revision across every register. The work is not the production of finished artifacts but the ongoing revision of artifacts-in-use; the revision is the steady state rather than the run-up to one.
The relational particulars through which this pattern first became visible remain private. This page stays with the form of the pattern and the interpretations it opens.
