How a thing shows itself — the face turned outward, derived from what it is.

One who reads a thing's state and says where it stands. Judgement offered as reading, never as sentence.

Holding something in view. Awareness precedes attention and is broader than it.

One who tends a collection with judgment — reviewing what is offered, publishing what is true, keeping notes on every ruling. Care for the commons, one decision at a time.

The organ of sight, and a point of attention. Also what Odin paid with — the price of drinking from the well.

The side turned toward the world — what a thing shows first, and where it is recognized.

Attentive looking that records what is there. Observation is meant to change the observer and not the observed.

The watch kept while others rest — sustained attention as an act of care.

Able to be seen. Visibility is a fact about the viewer's position as much as about the thing.
