## Example 2 {#x2}

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
Three laws were "written without words": keep the difference between knowing and merely repeating; keep the path by which a conclusion became possible; do not erase an old form just because a new one is stronger. At the edge stays the unformed, and Mova looks at it — not to conquer it, but to ask what distinction would make it speak. (lesson 002)
