Thus, when a flaw has been repaired, the trace of the flaw does not disappear... Everything that is done below is registered above in order that the judgment that is passed afterwards will take account of what happened previously....but rather, it is registered as a flaw that received its repair. And the reverse also applies. In other words, each thing is registered in its uniqueness with all that distinguishes it from everything else – after how many other repairs and how many flaws it came, and all the other individual details that can be discerned in it.
