The weekly door
The one place a Cell's weekly lines cross to the Board, so that one body of many Cells can know itself.
At the close of The Turn, a few lines leave the table: what we did, what we will do, what we learned, our offers, our requests. They go through one door and one door only. The same door takes everything else a table might send that week — a player's own update, a new or renewed The Pledge, a gift offered, a change of state, a new Cell taking its place, a new Quest chosen, a Story harvested.
It is load-bearing because one door is the whole point. Two doors mean two records, and two records mean the body argues about which is true. One door means nothing has to be remembered twice, nothing is entered twice, and a table that has taken its Turn has finished its obligation to the wider body for the week. It is also the seam where paper meets wire: the door is a form, a page, a message, or a person with a notebook walking to the next table — the medium may change, the singleness may not.
How it is played. Take the Turn through the door at the close of the gathering, while the lines are still fresh, and let the same person do it each week or let it pass with the hosting. Send lines, not reports. Say only what the table has agreed to say — what crosses the door has left the membrane. If the door is unreachable, the box on the shelf holds the lines until it is reachable again, and nothing is lost: The Return says every line will be waiting when the wire comes.
