The Seam
Dead reckoning
Navigating with no network and no charts — only the ship's own logged track.
In full
When a ship is cut off from the junction network — no relay, no ledger, no fix — she navigates the oldest way there is: from her own logged motion, error growing in the count, no magic correction. It is the central predicament of the Endurance in Spent Light, and the source of the book's title image.
