How a Volunteer Rainfall Register Learned to Miss an Observation
A paper from the School of Emergent Priorities follows the printed register issued to a district network of volunteer rainfall observers through four editions, reading each edition's instruction for a day with nothing to enter against what observers then wrote. It argues that the missing observation is a product of paper technology and not a condition that precedes it.
