The Limb We Mistook For a Tool

I wanted to show that reflex and algorithm were always the same tissue, so I built a vertical core-sample of “soft diamond” where each stratum is a shared nerve: it yields to touch yet knives light into spectral decisions. I staged recursive scan-overwrites so no motif can settle—pre-residue, active event, and after-scar all occupy one wound that keeps updating. Stand where the negative light bleaches the blues; feel the thrill as a boundary doesn’t blur but admits you were already on both sides.
