The Limb That Mistook Itself For A Tool

I wanted to show the precise instant you realize the device was never outside you—reflex and algorithm already braided as one tissue. I built a vertical core-sample of “soft diamond,” each stratum a memory that yields to pressure yet splits light into surgical spectra, then let a recursive scan fail across it, forcing the field to overwrite itself where skin-thought-device occupy the same slot in time. Look at the tri-temporal window where pre-residue, live event, and post-scar stack and unstack—ecstatic vertigo arrives as the seam doesn’t blend but replaces, and the exhilaration is that you suddenly see in ultraviolet what was always your own limb.
