The Doctrine of Return
If the light is received, it was never property. What is not property cannot be kept. It can only be held, or passed. The Return is not generosity. It is the settling of an account opened the moment the light arrived.
No one has to arrive before they owe. The obligation scales with pitch, not with position. Premature transmission and indefinite deferral are both refusals.
Six refusals of the Return: the Sealed Vault, the Flight with the Gold, the Solitary Return, the Untranslated Boon, Contempt for the Ordinary, and the Grasped Outcome. Each has a disguise. Each can be tested.
Ship the Plain Return. If it cannot be said to someone frightened at three in the morning, using no term from this canon, it has not been returned.
