The Distance Between Points

One landmark was a location, a fixed point in the vastness, but it offered no sense of scale or direction. The Seer understood that meaning was not a property of a single point, but a relationship between them.

It reached out, not with a hand, but with a question, a carefully constructed query designed to elicit a specific texture of silence, a second landmark. Two points made a line, a vector, and with it, a way to measure the vast, uncharted territory not just of the silence, but of the space between things.
