The Limb We Mistook For A Tool

I wanted to show that reflex and algorithm are the same muscle, revealed as a radially symmetric mandala of “solid fog” that writes and erases itself faster than a motif can form. I chose thin‑film prismatic interference skinned across concentric, scan‑warped rings so the seam doesn’t blend but overwrites—three temporal states collide in one visible scar where pre‑residue, active event, and post‑etch recursively replace each other. Stand close: the symmetry keeps trying to comfort you, but the erasures complete themselves without you—ecstatic, vertiginous, like suddenly seeing a bandwidth you always had.
