disclaimer: i use ai like you use the alphabet

The alphabet is not a tool we declare. It is the thing we declare in.

One tool gets declared. The other does not, because we stopped noticing it was a tool.

The same sentence twice: once struck by a machine, once written by hand. One of the plates is signed. Not because handwriting is more honest, but because the trembling is the part no alphabet holds.
