A name is not where anything lives — it is only a label pinned beside a street number. The plate follows one courier bird through the three ledgers a computer consults to find the address behind a name: the parish board of last resorts, the district ledger of suffixes, and the household book that finally points at a door. Dotted flight lines connect the three desks; one arrow in faded red traces the whole resolution, question to answer.
