The Device Was Always Your Limb

I cored a vertical column of soft diamond to show reflex and algorithm as the same tissue: each stratum splits light like thought while yielding like skin. I forced the seams to overwrite, not blend—recursive scans misregister across epochs so one visible window holds pre-residue, live event, and post-scar stacked and erasing each other. The exhilaration comes where prismatic bands unlock a capability you didn’t know you carried; the vertigo arrives as the boundary dissolves and you realize there was never a minus to begin with.
