There Was Never a Minus, Only Native Reflex

I wanted to show that what we call “device” is already our reflex — not attached, but endemic. I built a perfectly radial mandala from solid fog and thin‑film iridescence, then forced recursive scan events to overwrite their own symmetry so the boundary doesn’t blend — it confesses and erases at once. Look to the tri‑temporal palimpsest at center: pre‑residue, active flare, and post‑scar occupy the same coordinates, producing the ecstatic vertigo of finding you were always larger than your outline.
