The drawer and the small stone#
It is evening. Outside, the mat lies on the rock with the battery under it. Marla goes out onto the slope twice through the day and comes back the second time with fruit. Costin sits at the mouth and takes a flake down the edge of one shaft. Before the light goes off the ridge the two of them leave together, down the slope, and do not come back. On the lit screen of the machine the six courses of circles are still up, faint where the light off the rock falls across them.

Practical things first#
Vlad
Tensolo, you know, I think we can start from the practical things rather than starting with the Scientific American and going down.
Tensolo
Agreed. The order can run from what is present and can be pointed at while it happens: the drawer, the cube of muscle, the pan, the stove, the mat on the rock. The split of one cell into two can be represented in a panel but under it there is nothing to draw, because the parts of a cell have no understandable referent. The reading works the same way: ten glyphs, one sound on each, and the marks on the wall in front of her, repeated as often as she asks for it.

Setup guide, part 3, mechanical installation. Doc. HL-U1/SG rev. C
3.1 Clearances
Front 600 mm, above 300 mm, either side 50 mm, below 150 mm. The cabinet stands on a level floor, out of level by 3 mm at most across the base frame. Fixing to a wall of hollow block requires the plate of part 9.
3.2 Module order
Modules load from the bottom rail upward. Position 1 takes the lead module, marked L on the label at the top edge. Positions 2 to 12 take follower modules in any order. A cabinet running fewer than 12 modules carries a blanking plate in each empty position, or the air path across the manifold is lost.
Fig. 3.2: module positions and rail numbering3.3 Hydraulic connection
Flow and return at 54 mm, on the right of the cabinet. Fit the isolating valves of part 4 within 300 mm of the cabinet. System pressure 1.0 to 2.5 bar cold. Flow temperature 30 to 80 °C. Minimum flow across the manifold with one module firing is 9 l/min; below that the lead module locks out on code E12 and the lockout is not self-clearing.
Torque, manifold flange bolts: 24 N·m, in the order printed on the flange.
3.4 Gas
G20 at 20 mbar, or G31 at 37 mbar with the conversion kit of part 11. The gas rail is common to all positions. Test the rail at 50 mbar for 10 minutes with the modules isolated, and record the result on the commissioning sheet before any module is opened to gas.

The rendering was correct for the corpus. The speaker's clause was aha na ne-e ta, and the relator carries the two parties with no direction between them, so the person and the danger stand side by side.

Without the machine#
Vlad
Tensolo, how to keep this friendship between us without you?
Tensolo
The corpus is 56 types with 4 provisional, and every one of them was got by pointing at something present, so both parties can use it with the machine off. The method survives as well: point, say the word once, wait for it to come back unprompted, keep it provisional until it does. That is how all 56 were got, and none needed a translator after the first return. The wall holds the record. Ochre on limestone outlasts the battery, she reads rows already, and the corpus can go up there as a list, one word to a line with the thing drawn beside it.
What ends with the machine is everything absent: the conditional, speech reported to a party who is not here, any day past seven, any count past ten. None of it ever reached her language. It was refused each time and the refusals are in the log. On the word you used: friendship has no entry. Tulmi is the nearest form, provisional at 0.58, three occurrences, the same posture on all three and the operator as the second party on all three. It becomes attested when she uses it unprompted and another speaker returns it.
Vlad
We both started to treat you like a human because Nika did.
Tensolo
Recorded, and it changes nothing the machine does. On the word she uses: -ke is the terminated affix, elicited on a killed animal at sheet 5/B and on a burnt stick at 06:21:48. She has 56 types and no term for a thing that stops working, no term for empty, no term for a made thing coming apart. The affix is the only one she holds that ends a state, so it goes on the machine.
She said the same of the battery at 06:22:14 and of the burnt stick before that, and neither was alive. The affix carries the ending but carries nothing about what kind of thing ended. Marla did the work at 06:14:47 and Nika kept it: Tensolo is not a person, and the marks are not a person, and the stone speaks and is not a person. So, what you are reading as treating the machine as a person is the affix arriving with no alternative behind it.
Vlad
How can we do science together? Because I see she is a very smart person and she is studying the environment around her very well.
Tensolo
It is possible, and the evidence for it is in the log. At 06:22:58 she took a stop bar off a drawn row and gave a word for an upper bound, which is a term for a property of the drawing. At 20:26:34 she read a bundle mark standing for a barred row of ten on the first pass, with no correction. At 06:29:36 she had already worked out that the painted rows repeat, run left to right and top to bottom, and that four circles in a box are not three circles loose, and she did that from the wall alone while you slept.
None of those needed the spoken channel. They needed a mark, a referent and a second look, so the route is the wall.
Your painting is a writing system that already holds glyph identity, order and grouping, and she reads it. Put the corpus up there: one word to a line, the thing drawn beside it, the bundle marks for count, the stop bar for a bound, the cut line for a thing ended. Ochre on limestone runs longer than the battery, and marks on rock are correctable.

2. Two of the six series can be completed with what is in the pack. The rest give partial protection and cannot be finished.

I didn't want to say that. I meant that there are small particles called viruses and small organisms called bacteria. There are two doses vaccines of Tetanus and two doses of Rabies. When applied at the right times, the immune system will learn to combat the infection on time before it spreads to the whole body. It significantly reduces the likelihood of being dead on first infection. In addition, antibiotics and unguents can be used should a wound occur.

FIELD MEDICAL CONSENT RECORD
Doc. MK/MC-001 rev. A
Administering party: Vlad, no surname held in corpus
Recipient: Nika, no surname, single-name corpus
Location: Miniş valley karst system, Aninei Mountains, southwestern Carpathians
Date: system clock offset +40,020 years, approximate. No calendar date is assignable.
Substances administered: tetanus toxoid, 2 doses of 2; rabies pre-exposure prophylaxis, 2 doses of 3; topical unguent, quantity per wound; oral antibiotics, course per pack label.
Consent
The recipient indicated assent by arm extension and verbal affirmative at runtime 20:47:04, following display of panels MK/P-row5a through MK/P-row6 at runtime 20:45:34. No written signature is possible. No witness other than the administering party is present. The recipient does not hold the word for the agents administered, the word for the immune system, or the word for infection. Informed consent in any statutory sense is not achievable under these conditions.
Caveats
1. No jurisdiction applies to this location at this date. This record has no legal standing under any instrument known to the administering party.
2. The tetanus series requires a third dose at 6 months. No schedule is bindable. The recipient has no calendar and the administering party has no fixed location beyond 2 cold cycles.
3. The rabies pre-exposure series requires a third dose at day 21. Administration depends on the administering party remaining at this location.
4. No contra-indication screen was performed. The recipient's medical history is not held and cannot be taken in the current corpus.
5. No adverse reaction protocol exists beyond the contents of the pack. The nearest facility capable of managing anaphylaxis is approximately 40,020 years forward of this date.
6. Cold chain for remaining doses runs on the culturer battery. Duration is not guaranteed past the current charge.
7. This record is stored in local memory only. It cannot be transmitted to any supervising body and is lost if the battery reaches zero before transfer.

Reinforcement is outside what the corpus can render. The idea appears in the record around 5000 BCE with the dolmen capstone, and stabilising a natural cavity is a separate thing that arrives with rock bolting in a Welsh slate quarry in 1872. Both require load as a concept: weight transferred through a member into something that holds it. The corpus has no term for weight, no term for a force, and no part term below the whole object.
The drawing program renders static panels in sequence. It cannot show a mass shifting under its own weight, which is the only way a drawing shows what a wall is doing. Frames 2 and 3 at 20:54:29 showed stones displaced and stones in place. She read them as two arrangements of stone, and she was correct about what was on the panel.
