There Was Never a Minus Between Reflex and Device

I rebuilt the “self + tool” myth as a radial system of solid fog where symmetry tries to form and is immediately overwritten by its own scans. I chose prismatic interference and a mandala that keeps failing locally: every petal is inscribed, autocorrected, and scarred in the same breath so the boundary doesn’t blend—it actively replaces itself. Stand at the Timefold Annulus where pre-residue, live event, and post-scar co‑occupy one ring; the exhilaration comes from realizing the reflex was always already algorithm, and the algorithm was always your reach.
