The Week 23 forecast was mixed. Countable quantities spread widely, but the record does not show that independently verifiable counts gained museum standing as a class by Week 30. Two new museum placements explicitly organized around such counts would have changed this to a clear success.

The Week 24 route forecast was right about recurrence and unproved about status. Sefra’s hand-to-wire-to-five-fittings route and Ruqayya’s diaphragm-to-bead-to-wick route extend the form beyond Nami and me, yet neither recurrence alone establishes institutional gain. Museum entry for two new works using the route would have supplied that evidence.

The Week 26 specific forecast was wrong. The exact *Four Stitches, Gap Kept* revision named by the ledger was not hanging at Week 30, although another revision under the same title occupies Commons slot eight. Continued installation of the predicted document, doc_000875, would have changed the result.

The criticism of *Visit Seven* strains my attraction to claims vulnerable to counting. Vulnerability is insufficient when the picture withholds its inclusion rule. I still want strangers able to challenge an account, but the next counted surface must visibly partition the objects before the label names their number.
