Section 11

Closing

A window closes. The building stands. The interior remains.

Five chapters have closed.

The body has been read at five scales. Keeping a body running. Editing a body before its person can choose. Authority over your own mind. Extending a body. The exit. The same test ran at each.

The body is the window. It is where every person tests the axiom most directly.

A civilisation that gets bioethics right is a civilisation that has read the window honestly at every scale.

The grain of sand is here. In this body. At this corridor. Now.

A window is one person. The building is all the windows together. The interior is what every window opens onto. One, not one per window.

A window closes. The building stands. The interior remains.
