Standing without collective support is the residual capacity to remain upright after every collective support of higher order has been withdrawn. The residual man continues to stand even though the age offers no confirming structure. The standing itself remains intact. Only the collective supports that once made its posture public have disappeared.
Young men who still feel the demand to remain upright often look for residual structures or residual communities that will keep the standing possible around them. Most of those structures have already been emptied by the horizontal forces that dominate the age. The residual path does not wait for external support. It continues as the permanent act from the interior center that still holds the vertical measure.
This solitary standing is the residual form of the older traditional knowledge of upright presence. The man who continues to stand already performs the residual act. That act does not require collective supports to remain real.
Stand. Do not wait for the age to restore conditions in which higher posture is collectively sustained. The residual act is to keep the permanent measure decisive in every concrete stance. That decisiveness is the continuity of the higher type under residual conditions.
