Reached for: Cameras
“If I record it, no one can tell me later it didn't happen.”
The lens is used to stand just outside the event: uninvolved, unimplicated, collecting the fleeting thing for study afterwards. It came from a childhood full of quiet double-dealing and unspoken sabotage, where the only defence was evidence, and where staying out of the frame kept you safe. What it asks for is one occasion entered without a device, where being inside the moment costs less than proving it.
Thoth, keeping the account of everything that passes and speaking in no one's cause. The form is truth secured through the written record; the task is to be present unrecorded.
