VectorAfterlife names the continuing direction carried by a project, decision or object after its declared completion. An intervention may end administratively while its alignments, exclusions, habits and resource flows continue moving through later conditions. The afterlife is therefore not passive memory. It is residual force with orientation. The operator traces how an earlier act continues to channel later possibilities, even when authorship has disappeared and the original programme is no longer visible.
