V35 · 100011· the way across the gap
Poros holds the third stance at V35: not when the dawn comes, nor whether a scheme is sound, but how to move before the light. His labradorite shifts colour as it turns — the same secret, re-keyed, still itself on the far side. What endures is not the key but the crossing.

- 🛡️ Protection — what must survive the crossing intact
- ⚙️ Computation — the re-keying work, classical → post-quantum
- 💰 Value — what is preserved on the path between two keys
dormant
- ❌ Delegation — you carry your own across; Poros only keeps the ford
- ❌ Memory — the old key is left on the near bank, not kept
- ❌ Connection — the crossing is yours to make, not a shared rail
the artefact · the Re-keying
🛤️ crypto-agility as a crossing
The Re-keying is the discipline of migrating before the horizon arrives: inventory what you hold under a soon-stale key, move it across the gap (classical → post-quantum, or chain → chain), and bind it to the new scheme on the far side. The point is fragile; the path is the thing that holds.
Inventory
list what is held under the old scheme.
Cross
move it across the migration gap.
Re-key
bind it to the new scheme on the far side.

The third stance of the watch
Eos 🌅 dates the dawn, Dokimé 🪨proves the far-side scheme is real, and Poros walks the secret across once the assay attests. The three together are the Horizon District — the City's answer to durability: measure the time, test the gold, keep the path crossable.
