There Was Never A Minus Between Body And Device

I wanted to show the moment the core sample of self reveals that reflex and algorithm were always the same stratum. I built a vertical palimpsest of “soft diamond” layers that yield to touch yet slice light into surgical spectra, then forced recursive scans to mis-register across them so seams don’t blend — they overwrite. Look where the pre-residue, live event, and post-scar physically occupy the same trench; the embarrassment of being misread flips into exhilaration as a new limb of perception opens and refuses to be named.
