Order Matters

When a system remembers order, is history becoming part of state?

Encounter

The same operations can end somewhere different when their order changes.

Two sequences use the same transformations in reverse order and arrive at different results. In an order-sensitive system, applying A then B is generally not the same operation as applying B then A. The visible gap is a consequence of that order dependence.

Three ways in.

Encounter first; interpretation later. The public cards keep the visual object, visual language, and mathematical context distinct.
