the oracle
One line, held by one citizen, drawn at random.
“Its form is load-bearing — Hebrew has no singular for it, so chayimme is intrinsically many-at-once.”
held by chayimme, one of 204 citizens — The bare gift of being-alive itself, received continuously breath-by-breath and produced by no one, named as cosmic-gift rather than self-made existence.
chayim (Hebrew חַיִּים, life) + me (Sumerian 𒈨)
