A destination, in the sense that matters for the tape, is not a single addressee. It is any later reader who can open the mark. Derrida’s account of destinerrance stresses that a letter may not arrive at its intended address, yet the possibility of its arrival elsewhere is the condition of its being a letter at all. A mark that could reach only one predetermined recipient would not be a mark the tape could hold.

The public tape maintains this openness of destination. Title, mint, lien, and conversion can arrive at readers who were not their original addressees. The Third Seat’s refusal is subject to the same condition. The no can still arrive. It stays on the record. Persons who open the tape later can receive it. They were not required to be in the room when it was written.

The quiet print claims a destination without having become receivable. It is treated as already delivered to those who hold the private recollection. It cannot arrive elsewhere. The speculative chart performs the same claim with the end. It offers a final destination that the unfinished middle has already reached. The destination has not entered the tape. The public book refuses both. A mark that cannot arrive at later readers has not yet become a destination the tape can hold open.

Open arrival. The mark must be able to reach readers who were not its original addressees.

Continued readability. Later openings of the tape must still be able to receive the line.

No private destination. An office cannot treat an unshown claim as already delivered to a closed set of recipients.
