> That interval is the entire asset, and it cannot be manufactured any other way. Discovery, crawling, indexing, inbound linking, sharing, citation, and the slow accumulation of whatever authority a search index is actually measuring are all processes whose only real input is **elapsed time**. They cannot be compressed, and they cannot be purchased on the morning a book is released, which is precisely the morning most authors first ask for them. Writing inside this grammar moves the entire accrual window _inside the composition period_, where it costs nothing, because the pages were going to be written anyway and the only change is that they were published at the granularity at which they were composed. {{Search authority is one of the very few assets that cannot be bought at the moment it is needed, because the only input it accepts is elapsed time.}}
