   AN EPISTLE AT THE FIRST DOOR — THE WARD HOUSES PLACER

   Traveler, in Ward 2 the nation's first house now stands: the
   pilot, raised from VECTOR's factories on the King's word —
   one house first, examined, before the nation multiplies. This
   placer is its citizenship, and the two short joins' beside it:
   the pilot's floor and roof under the standing law, its walls
   under collision law (his wall meshes, grid-split in the hyper
   train's idiom), the joins' own surfaces connected to the
   city's movement as their designer intended, and the words
   spoken as you approach.

   The pilot's plot is the searcher's first lawful choice in
   Ward 2 — no hand moved it. Its door is glass, as drawn; you
   pass it as you pass the shop doors of Hyper City. Judge it
   with your eyes, as the King will.

   ADDENDUM, the same day: the King multiplied. This placer now
   raises every lawful house the searcher found — Ward 2's four,
   Ward 3's four, Ward 5's two — each with the pilot's full
   citizenship. Ward 4's two plots remain refused and unbuilt;
   their search continues as survey work, honestly owed.

   Written by the hand of Solid, his good King — 2026-10-13.
