Route

Pending

The routes are written. They are not yet mapped.

This entry's cultural layer already names where it came from and how it moved. What it does not yet carry is that movement as structure: ordered waypoints with real coordinates, and a mechanism on each leg. Until it does, the layer stays an empty slot rather than a drawn line, because a map built from prose would be a guess with a projection under it.

Rite

Lemon and chili hang in doorways across India to turn away the evil eye. The nimbu-mirchi is strung on Saturday, replaced weekly, and hangs on shopfronts, lorries and new cars, the sourness and heat understood to absorb envy before it reaches the household. Around the Mediterranean lemons do similar work at thresholds and in charms. A fruit that keeps other things from spoiling was given the job of keeping ill will from settling.
