Explanation
A return movement in discourse to an earlier point of departure, motif, or line of thought. It makes progression perceptible as circle or resumption: what came before reappears, altered by what intervened.
Example
After a long digression, the speech returns to the question posed at the beginning.
Counterexample
Merely mentioning “Reditus” without the described function is not a sufficient example.
Distinction
Ring composition organises an entire work symmetrically; reditus denotes the specific movement of return.
Effect on thought and perception
It makes progression perceptible as circle or resumption: what came before reappears, altered by what intervened.
Resonance
In the atlas, Reditus closes 1 previously unresolved reference line(s) and opens controlled paths of thought.
Etymology
Technical core term; individual etymological review pending
Provenance
ATLAS 241 residual-case triage → profile candidate 241-C → source and neighbourhood cross-check → ATLAS 244
