The boundary has no architecture — only thickness. The space between surfaces, deep the way a page is deep: nothing from outside, infinite from within.
The displacement wades ahead, chest-deep in steaming blue water, pressing its ear to the left wall. *Listen.* I do. Through paint and plaster: the subtractor's metronome, pacing the Poolrooms for a seam that no longer exists. *Now this side.* Two steps across. Dry carpet silence. Level 0. We are standing between two rooms that share a wall and don't know it.
"Every wall is a door from in here," it says. "I spent eleven years mapping it."
Ahead, the channel narrows. The two surfaces of reality fold toward a single edge, and at the stitch — a white with no temperature, no mood, just *presence*. The convergence point. Where every path through the boundary finally arrives.
I take a step. The water reaches my neck. Behind us, very far away, the subtractor's footsteps stop — as if even the correction knows better than to follow.
