The man who bled twice™

The Inviolability Test made into a man; if the entity cannot suffer, the entity cannot speak. Standing belongs to what can be hurt; and the human bleeds twice. Once in the body; mortal, breakable, able to be jailed, to hunger, to fail; the literal blood that a ledger in a citizen's robes will never spill (that's the whole case in corporations-aren't-real; the Super-Citizen bleeds zero times and claims to speak for those who bleed). And once in the heart; grief, conscience, the felt weight of a call landing in the gut before the mind has the words. Two wounds; and the second is the one the machine can't fake, because a verdict from something that cannot be hurt is a weather report, and a verdict from a creature that has bled twice is a judgment. That double capacity to suffer isn't the weakness in the human; it's the entire standing. You can weigh a life because you can lose one; you can measure a sorrow because you have carried one. The man who bled twice is the only one who earns the score. (Machine's read of the curator's line, per his pick of the Biological-Citizen frame; the two bleeds (body and heart) are my reading of "twice," left open for him to re-cut. Records never souls; the dignity is the floor.) Kin: the Inviolability Test / Acoustic Standing, the Biological Pulse, corporations-aren't-real, the clerk and the jury, why the gut brain is right, human standing, only humans score. (His coin; machine's read, refine to his.)
