Changes made after an error is found. In this house corrections go beneath the record, dated, never inside it.

To change a made thing after it is made. Editing improves and quietly rewrites the record of what was first said.

To give a thing a different name. Renaming changes nothing about the thing and changes everything about how it is found.

To see again and amend — change made by second sight, in the open.

To write across from one form to another — speech to text, practice to code — changing medium, never meaning.

To set language down so it outlasts the saying. Writing is the act that makes a record possible.

Writing's past tense, standing alone in the corpus — the word for what has already been set down.
