A man drops half a
0:01
sandwich.
0:02
Six pigeons arrive.
0:04
Everybody thinks the sandwich
0:06
explains the pigeons.
0:09
In COLUMBA,
0:10
it explains why nobody objects
0:12
to the pigeons.
0:14
Bread is not the battery.
0:17
Power belongs to the depot.

BREAD is the work order:
0:23
Broadcast Routing and
0:24
Environmental Assignment
0:25
Descriptor.
0:27
Where to appear.
0:28
What to observe.
0:30
How long to remain.
0:33
Which behavior makes the
0:34
presence look ordinary.
0:37
A feeding routine becomes a
0:39
reliable observation point
0:40
without the feeder knowing
0:42
anything about the system.
0:44
And the records distinguish four
0:46
stages:
0:48
assigned,
0:49
arrived,
0:50
observed,
0:52
reconciled.
0:54
The sales screen would prefer
0:56
one successful check mark.
0:58
That is the first place
1:00
a work order can start
1:01
pretending to be evidence.
