Liora entered a wide valley covered in soft dust.
Many had crossed before her. The ground bore faint traces of countless paths — some deep and worn, others barely visible.
She began to walk.
Where she stepped, the dust compacted. The path thickened. A trail began to emerge — not imposed from above, but formed by repetition.
Soon she noticed something strange:
Every traveller walked the same valley, yet no two density patterns were identical.
Some valleys were thick with central roads.
Others were latticed with wandering spirals.
Some were almost untouched.
The valley was not different for each traveller.
But the density of its pathways was.
And when travellers met, their paths intersected — reinforcing some trails, thinning others.
Individuation, Liora realised, was not separation.
It was the distribution of accessibility within a shared field.
