Propagation in Part III: benefits and their rank · unit 16 concerns passing the art onward through writing, not the reproduction of a material substance. It is paired with accepting wisdom and living according to it. The three actions distinguish transmission, reception and conduct: knowledge should survive its possessors, but its success is measured by a shaped life as well as continued circulation of books. The English 'life conducted accordingly' keeps that final ethical consequence. The unit's praise of a lasting good name and humility also opposes propagation to the mere pursuit of gold, showing why publication is represented as part of the art's moral inheritance.
