1. **ONTOLOGY → IMAGE FIDELITY**: The images translate the ontological entities reasonably well. In Image 1, the ziggurat rising through a field of plumes echoes “a memory surfacing after centuries,” while the voxel sinkhole and the ribbon wave intertwine appropriately, although the holographic effect is less pronounced. Image 2 misses visible transformations, with unclear depiction of the filamentous bubble column.
2. **EMOTIONAL TRUTH**: The atmospheric tension is palpable in both images. Image 1 creates a sense of monumental anxiety with hovering cubes and luminescent gradients. However, Image 2, while atmospheric, feels more whimsical than pensive, slightly diverging from the described slow-building tension.

1. **ONTOLOGY → IMAGE FIDELITY**: The images do capture several elements from the ontology. In the first image, the ziggurat ruin and coral bookshelf are present, but the "fractured beacon crown" and the "silt plume" are underrepresented. In the second image, the torus and bell jar connections are missing, and transformations like micro-fracturing and leaking luminous vapor are absent.
