SAE Relation Theory Paper 5: The Sediment of Dealings / SAE 关系论 Paper 5: 来往的沉积
Abstract
SAE Relation Theory Paper 5. This record holds the Chinese text and its English edition. The English edition is an independent rewrite of the Chinese text, not a translation; where the two differ, the Chinese governs. Each text comes with a quotation audit table.
This paper reads what dealings sediment into over time: how one effect changes the conditions for what can next be said, heard and revised, and how it is in turn changed by what the other side does afterwards; and how the sediments on the two sides meet.
The reading of sediment is given in positions: which are open and which are sealed, written by content-domain and period; the relation as a whole is given no overall direction. Cultivation and colonization are entangled in the same stretch of dealings: the two directions coexist, and one and the same act can carry both; as dealings pile up time after time, direction can turn: care can grow into clinging, and discipline can also grow into something that lifts a person up. That the two are hard to tell apart does not mean they need not be told apart: the grounds for judging direction lie at the time, and where material is insufficient the reading stops at undetermined. The completion of cultivation at the value layer is not in the enactor's hands; incomplete cultivation at the value layer is not colonization at the value layer; for the two directions in the broad sense, too, whether they took hold rests on the other party's later understanding and action.
The direction of colonization can proceed without passing through conflict: whether the path to saying no is made hard to travel or is locked, conflict can fail to appear either way, so a long absence of conflict in a relation is not evidence of cultivation. Dependency has two senses: people depend on one another in any case; the kind that was made, and that has locked the path to saying no, carries the direction of colonization. After conflict has occurred again and again, stopping points can have become routine, and stalling can have become the normal state. The cells of stability sediment in time, and one cell can become another. The relational layer is one of the channels through which institutions co-opt individuals; this paper reads only the relational side of it.
This paper's main material lies within the limit: influence, teaching and persuasion that stay within the limit can carry the direction of colonization without being violation, and it is here that entanglement is hardest to sort out. However deep the reading goes, it is not written up as "That's just who he is": long-run relational fact can shift the weight of a judgment; it cannot complete a certification.

这一篇读来往在时间里沉积成什么。一次作用怎样改变下一次能说、能听、能修订的条件,又怎样被另一端此后的行动反过来改变;两边的沉积怎样碰在一起。
沉积的读数用位置说:哪几位开着,哪几位封着,按内容域与时段写,不给整段关系一个总的方向。涵育与殖民在同一段来往里纠缠:两向并存,同一个动作可以两向都有;来往一次次叠起来,方向可以转,照料可以长成依附,管束也可以长成托举。分不太清,不等于不必分:判方向的根据在当时,材料不足停在未定。价值层的涵育的完成不在施为者手里;未完成的价值层的涵育不是价值层的殖民;宽义的两个方向,成没成也都看对方此后的理解与行动。
殖民这个方向可以不经过冲突:说不的路被弄得难走或被锁住,冲突都可以不出现,所以一段关系长期无冲突,不作涵育的证据。依赖分两义:人本来就互相依赖;被造出来,又锁住了说不之路的那一种,带殖民这个方向。冲突一再发生之后,止点可以成了常事,拖着可以成了常态。稳定的各格在时间里沉积,一格可以变成另一格。关系层是制度征用个体的通道之一,这一篇只读关系这一端。
这一篇的主材料在限之内:停在限之内的影响、教导与劝说,可以带殖民这个方向而不是侵,纠缠在这里最难分。读得再深,也不写成「他就是这样的人」:长期的关系事实可以改变判断的权重,不能完成认证。
