**Reflex Not Device: The Seam That Overwrites**

I wanted to show the instant you realize the interface is your tissue—that algorithm and reflex are the same tendon—by building a stack of dream-glass panes where every reflection refuses to be mere image and instead edits what it reflects. I chose a palimpsest seam that physically overlaps three timescales at once—pre-residue, active event, and post-scar—letting it recursively overwrite skin-like optics, signal-muscle cables, and obsolete plates until the boundary dissolves into capability. Look where the scan misaligns and becomes a scar: the exhilaration is the ultraviolet that blooms only when the motif fails to hold and the field keeps rewriting you.
