STATUS: PROPOSAL-TIER design sheet. It is the ICONOGRAPHIC REGISTER's SECOND built instance (doctrine
§3C, declared PROVISIONAL on BE_0009_S3 with one instance) and the first NON-FIGURATIVE one — the
register was declared on a drawn FIGURE and this subject has no figure at all, which tests the
register's central claim that a pictorial convention can be a skeleton. §9 records what the second
instance confirms and what it extends. It applies one light-law correction to a sibling proposal-tier
document (KIT_BE_0013_S3's brightening, §6 and §9). It cites canon rows and writes none.

difference from the register's first instance — NO FIGURE EITHER. BE_0009_S3 was a drawn person
and could declare a person's articulation points; this subject is a NON-FIGURATIVE MARK-SYSTEM, and
the doctrine's part-one requirement is met by declaring that system's own construction as the
skeleton, which is what the rest of this block does.
register is a vague block:
[south_africa.md § Zone Catalog L90], the wall an overhang face — architecture by SELECTION rather
than construction, "a sandstone overhang chosen for its shelter, its light and its wall, then
worked on for a very long time" [south_africa.md § 7 — page authority]. The wall is the body.
a reproduction of any real panel [south_africa.md § 17 — page authority].

with intention toward the wall.
entoptic classes — dots, zigzags, nested curves, grids and spirals [south_africa.md § 5; SRC_00202;
SRC_00215]. The figures on the panel do not move, do not animate and are never the adversary. What
moves is the geometry.
SKELETON:
ochre-red and its small closed palette [CH_13 § Asset anchors L245]. No modelling, no cast shadow
of its own, no ground line, no perspective, no foreshortening, and no depth. The rock's grain and
its curvature are part of the drawing rather than a canvas under it.

PROPAGATION LINE, running from its origin along its own rule to its terminus. A form with a
terminus is a finished teaching. A form whose terminus was removed is this encounter.

register cannot draw and is the exact equivalent of a joint outside declared ROM on a creature.

conditions swapped on a frame boundary. There is no tween, no ease, no growth animation. A form
that grows smoothly is a 3D thing pretending to be flat; a form that is suddenly one mark longer is
a flat thing being flat, and it reads as wrong without a single particle.

"gait" is propagation by substitution: it is this long, then it is longer, with nothing in between.
there and one straight line through everything.
/Xam entoptic rock-art system is "not decoration but a knowledge-system, six hundred sites and
thirty-five thousand painted images encoding a trance-and-eland cosmology and a documented
perceptual science of vision" [CH_13 § Civilizational marks L58]. The spine's own body prose is
blunter and is the sheet's thesis: "a wall can be a library, and a tradition unbroken across tens of
thousands of years does not ask permission to still be true" [CH_13 § Body prose L29].
entoptic model holds that the first stage of an intensified trajectory of consciousness produces
geometric forms — dots, zigzags, nested curves, grids, spirals — generated by the human nervous
system; that the second stage construes them as familiar objects; and that the third produces full
hallucination including becoming-animal [south_africa.md § 5; SRC_00202; SRC_00215]. THIS SHEET USES
STAGE ONE AND NOTHING ELSE. The second and third stages are not staged, not animated and not shown.
contestation rather than as settled fact," the corpus holds it together with its principal scholarly
objections, and the honest thing is that "the protagonist perceives the geometry, the game never
declares the theory, and the contestation itself is available as L2 content" [south_africa.md § 5;
CH_13 § Anti-fringe / Frame-A flags L232]. Nothing in §6, §8 or any string this sheet proposes states
the neuropsychological model as fact.
possesses the greatest potency of any animal, which is why the Game Pass panel at Kamberg shows an
eland with lowered head and crossed back hooves radiating lines, with therianthropic figures beside
it whose legs are crossed the same way — and the region page draws the build rule itself: "the
crossed-hooves posture must never be used as an idle animation, because in this region it is a word"
[south_africa.md § 3; SRC_00202]. §8 carries that rule as a hard plate constraint.

false one to steady the panel's sense, carrying /Xoana's teaching as a perception-and-restoration
encounter rather than a kill; the restored reading deepens the serpentine Vimana seed toward Ch 41
[CH_13 §10 CH13_B05 L129-132].
Drakensberg panel guardian-elder of the /Xam tradition, keeper of the painted shelters, a teaching
NPC and never a target; her office is "a place rather than a rank," and "the office is teaching, and
the teaching is by showing" [CH_13 § Key ally NPCs L203; south_africa.md § 12].
a text): the /Xam corpus is "not a description written about them but a literature dictated by them,
in their own language with facing translation, by named authors," with the transmission chain carried
on the face of the text [south_africa.md § 4; SRC_00265].
shelters among them — are built as type-accurate referenced composition and never as high-poly
reproductions of actual protected cultural property [south_africa.md § 17]. EG_0206's own arena
note carries the same rule as a mechanic: the panel is READ and never touched, TRACED and never
reproduced, and the encounter cannot repair it.
monographs — Vinnicombe's People of the Eland and the Mitchell and Smith successor volume — are
MUST-ACQUIRE and are not held, and the shelf holds only a review of the second [south_africa.md
§ 16]. This sheet therefore authors NO specific panel, no site, no motif inventory beyond the five
cited entoptic classes, and no reading of any real image.
five form classes treated as articulation points with one joint each, the propagation law, the
substitution motion, the crowding mechanism that replaces the kit's brightening (§6), the five
surfaces of bare rock the geometry may reach across, the false completion's specific attractiveness,
and the tell shapes in §6. This game's drawn forms are the game's own drawing of a register the
tradition draws for its own reasons, and §9 files the acquisitions that would let the drawing meet
the real register rather than approximate it.
ONE-LINE SILHOUETTE READ: a wall of finished forms with one form that cannot end, and a single
straight line through it that nothing in this rock would ever have made.
THE ICONOGRAPHIC REGISTER, NON-FIGURATIVE. There is no body, no creature, no figure and no face, and
the sheet does not smuggle one in. The register's first instance was a drawn person; this one is a
drawn RULE, and everything below is the rule under stress.
PRIMARY — A10 NEGATIVE SPACE, AND THE ABSENT THING IS AN ENDING. This is the sheet's whole argument
and it is the axis the doctrine names for beings whose meaning is subtraction. A form in this register
is a statement that completes; the cut removed the part of the wall its statement completed on; so the
form has a rule, an open end, and nowhere for the rule to arrive. MECHANISM: a generative line whose
terminus was physically removed, still propagating because propagation is the only thing it does. That
is the kit's own silhouette read — "the pattern still trying to complete itself" — given a stated cause.
It costs no light, no particle and no distortion, and it is the encounter's identity: a player asked
what the thing was would say it is a shape that cannot finish.
SUPPORTING — A9 THE MARK, AND IT IS THE CUT. One high-contrast, instantly-readable identifying
feature: a straight chisel line across a wall where nothing is straight. MECHANISM: geometric contrast
against a surface with no straight edges in it — the same silhouette logic the doctrine's mata mbere
uses at eye height, applied to a wall instead of a face. It is visible from the pocket's mouth, it
identifies the encounter before any pattern moves, and — this is the design's honesty — IT IS STILL
THERE AT THE END. The kit's last ability refuses the easy ending and this sheet builds the body that
makes the refusal legible.
SUPPORTING — A8 MATERIAL SUBSTITUTION, AND THE BODY IS GROUND STONE IN STONE. The being is pigment in
a rock surface. The axis's two constraints are met exactly: it still ARTICULATES, because the five
joints in §2 are real and bounded; and it NEVER SELF-LIGHTS, because pigment does not. MECHANISM: ochre
and its binder occupying the rock's grain, read by raking daylight, by wetting-darkening where seepage
runs, and by the rock's own curvature. The material is also the chapter's argument: the pigment on this
wall and the ochre at Blombos are the same tradition, which is why the Thread-22 weight sits on a
gathering item rather than on a treasure [south_africa.md § 9].
ELEVATION BUDGET: THREE AXES, within the doctrine's two-to-four. Scale, limb multiplication,
hypertrophy, composite form and vril manifestation are all deliberately unused. Each of them would
push this subject toward a FIGURE, and a figure is exactly what the row's own parenthesis forbids.
MECHANISM ROLL-UP: A10 is a generative rule with its terminus removed; A9 is a straight line on a
surface that has none; A8 is pigment in rock read by raking light. EMISSION: NONE, AND THE SHEET IS
EMPHATIC BECAUSE THE OBVIOUS DESIGN FOR THIS SUBJECT IS A GLOWING WALL. The kit's phase-one language is
that the pattern "brightens beyond legibility"; the light law bans emission outside the three emitting
families and this subject's element is none by the kit's own declaration, so brightness cannot be
what happens. §6 supplies the mechanism that does the same work without a photon: THE FORM CROWDS. The
marks multiply and close their intervals until the span cannot be read — a DENSITY read, not a
LUMINANCE read, which survives the light law, survives a bright afternoon in an open shelter where a
glow would read as nothing, and is more oppressive than a glow because the wall gets FULLER rather than
hotter. §9 records this as the correction it is.
has is a FORM LIBRARY plus a PROPAGATION LAW plus a SUBSTITUTION LAW, and all three are specified
here because the blob test applies to a drawn thing exactly as it applies to a body: every state is
named, every state is a complete drawn condition, and there are no unnamed in-betweens.
mesh_pipeline_type = special_case_by_case IS THE RIGHT VALUE AND NOT A DEFERRAL. This row hasno mesh in the sense the pipeline means one. Its deliverables are a SURFACE SHADER with authored
mark states, a state machine that substitutes them, and a set of drawn form assets — the same asset
class BE_0009_S3 needed for a projected occluder, in a second body. The registry's existing value
is correct and this sheet confirms it rather than proposing a change.
spirals), each authored at three states — INTERRUPTED (the severed end), PROPAGATING (reaching), and
CLOSED (the true trace completed). Fifteen drawn states, each a complete condition, each authored
once at plate fidelity.
A zigzag cannot become a spiral, a grid cannot open into dots, and a form that changes class has
broken the register in exactly the way a joint outside ROM breaks a creature. The false completion in
§6 is the ONE licensed violation and it is licensed because it is WRONG — that is what makes it
readable as wrong.
tween, no ease, no dissolve, no growth. The animation lane's temptation here is a beautiful smooth
spreading and it is the wrong instinct for the same reason it was wrong on the register's first
instance.
AS A BUILD ONE. Five spans of BARE ROCK inside the pocket: the face above the cut, the face below the
cut, the cut's own broken edge, the overhang's underside, and the pocket's back wall. THE GEOMETRY
NEVER OCCUPIES A PAINTED IMAGE, never overwrites one, never animates one, and never appears outside
the pocket — EG_0203, the painted gallery around it, is hard_blocked, enemy_usable FALSE and
verbless, and nothing in this encounter reaches it. The painted figures on the panel are STILL for
the entire encounter. What moves is the geometry on the blank rock, reaching for the end of itself.
EG_0206 is hard_blocked with ten hard-line references and attack_verbs = none. No player ability marks it,
no enemy attack marks it, no failure state damages it, and no win state mends the cut. The player
traces; the player never paints.
the pocket's mouth, a watching register, and the ability to be seen NOT INTERVENING. She is teaching
by showing, which is her office as canon states it, and the design instruction is that she never
solves it and never points.
VERBS ARE PERCEIVE AND EVADE, axis 20/55/25, Puzzle-dominant. The row's counters, verbatim: trace the
true entoptic form and refuse the false one; time the evade to the surge's slack. Two phases,
evolve-not-swap — the row's clause is that phase two COMPOUNDS THE SAME PATTERN-FORMS AND ADDS NO NEW
ATTACKS. This sheet does not restate the kit's twelve abilities; it supplies the body they originate in
and corrects one mechanism under the light law.
THE ENCOUNTER'S STRUCTURAL IDEA: THE PLAYER IS BEING ASKED TO FINISH SOMEBODY ELSE'S SENTENCE
CORRECTLY, UNDER PRESSURE, WITH A WRONG ANSWER AVAILABLE THAT IS EASIER AND PRETTIER. Nothing here is
malevolent and nothing is fought. The panel is under stress because it was cut, the stress is real
pressure rather than aggression, and the player steadies it by reading it right. The difficulty is
perceptual and never physical, per the row's own axis.
THE BRIGHTENING IS RE-MECHANISED AS CROWDING, and the function is preserved exactly. Where the kit says
the pattern brightens beyond legibility, the body says THE MARKS MULTIPLY AND THEIR INTERVALS CLOSE
until the span cannot be read; where the kit says the brightness drops for a beat, the body says THE
CROWD THINS for a beat and the underlying line is briefly visible. Same tell, same slack, same counter,
same window — and no emission, which the light law requires and which a shelter in raking afternoon
light requires independently, because a glow in that light reads as nothing at all. §9 files it.
PART ECONOMY HOME, DECLARED BY NAME per doctrine §2.4: SURFACES — the places the being may occupy,
removed one at a time. This is the register's own home and the second row to use it. Silhouette
fractions are given as fractions of the POCKET's readable wall area, because a being with no body has
no silhouette of its own.
| tell shape | body origin | one answer | counter class |
|---|---|---|---|
| the incomplete form — a form's line runs to the cut and stops | the severed end, propagating with nowhere to arrive | READ IT. It is free, it is the grievance stated without a word, and it is where the true line has to start | none — the opener |
| the crowding — the marks in a span multiply and their intervals close until the span cannot be read | the form's own joint, driven past its readable band | COVER — break the span's line of sight and read a different span; the crowd cannot follow a reader who stops looking at it | cover |
| the false form — a way to finish the pattern that is easier than the true one, and a class-break where a class-continuation belongs | a completion that is not this panel's, offered on a surface the true line was reaching for | REFUSE IT — the row's own counter. The false completion is always the one that changes CLASS, and that is the read | neutralize |
| the true form — a line that closes on itself without inventing anything | the panel's own geometry, arriving at its own terminus | TRACE IT — the named weak point, and it is a READING rather than a target | weak-point / read |
| the thinning — the crowd opens for a beat and the underlying line shows | the surge's own period, at its trough | THIS IS THE WINDOW — the row's counter names it as the surge's slack, and it is the encounter's only timing demand | interrupt / evade |
| the cut edge — a straight line where nothing in the panel is straight | a mining tool's actual damage; the only physical thing in the encounter | nothing, and that is the point. It is not a threat, it is not answerable, and it does not move | none — the mark |
ONE SHAPE, ONE ANSWER. The false form and the true form share a location and are distinguished by ONE
CHECKABLE FACT — whether the continuation stays inside its own class. A zigzag that ends in a spiral is
the false one, every time, in every instance, and that rule is stated by the body in §2 rather than
learned by trial. The crowding and the thinning are the same event at its two extremes and carry
opposite answers, which is legitimate because they are not the same shape: one is a span filling and
one is a span opening, and the eye reads the direction instantly.
THE 55 IS THE PUZZLE AND THE PUZZLE IS A DRAWING. With a declared register on the table, the row's
first counter stops being an abstraction: the player reads a MARK SYSTEM, the system has rules, and the
wrong answer breaks one. That is a puzzle a player solves with their eyes at any language level, in any
localisation, with no glossary — which is the strongest argument for declaring the register at all.
THE 20 IS REAL AND THE ENCOUNTER IS NOT PASSIVE. The pressure is perceptual and it costs: a wrong trace
does not merely fail, it gives the false completion a surface and the pocket gets harder to read. The
doctrine's defang tell is about staging rather than content, and this sheet's answer to it is the same
one the ruled non-kill template gives — the correct chain is long, the wrong answer is attractive, and
a mistake takes ground back.
BREAKABLE PARTS — SURFACES, with the three currencies met and not a body region in sight:
the face below about 0.25, the overhang underside about 0.20, the back wall about 0.20, and the cut's
own broken edge about 0.05 — small, and it is the one that never closes): break threshold is the true
line closed across that span; break event is the span going STILL and staying still, which looks
different from a span that is merely quiet and the player learns the difference on the first one;
permanent subtraction is one of the pressures retiring, exactly as the kit specifies; legibility gain
accumulates — the pocket gets readable at a glance, and the player can see the encounter being won on
the wall; NOTHING IS HARVESTED, and EG_0206's ten hard-line refs are why.
the last. Nothing in this encounter reduces the panel and nothing repairs it, because a game that let
a player undo a desecration by solving a puzzle would be lying about what desecration is.
ESCALATION on the four channels, and the register's rule is that the posture channel is HOW MUCH OF
THE FIGURE IS PRESENT. Non-figuratively, that becomes HOW MUCH OF THE FORM IS PRESENT, and it works:
OCCUPY WHOLE SPANS, two incomplete forms sharing one wall. That is an escalation a player can name
before any meter confirms it.
thins rather than swells so the player hears themselves.
acoustic reading of its own geometry, and it costs nothing to build.
the opener: the same problem, more of it.
THE OPENER AND ITS VARIANTS: the root is THE INCOMPLETE FORM — free, harmless, and the whole grievance
in one image. The crowding is the incomplete form under pressure. The false form is the incomplete
form offered an ending. The true form is the incomplete form given its own.
RELOCATION AND TURF: it does not enter and it does not leave. It is a wall that was cut. What it does
to the arena is nothing — and the encounter's grief is that something already did.
WIN: win_condition = PERCEIVE;PURGE, has_nonkill_path TRUE. PURGE HERE MEANS STEADIED, NEVER
DESTROYED: the panel comes back to legibility, its reading is restored, and the serpentine Vimana seed
deepens toward Ch 41 unnumbered and unnamed [CH_13 §10 CH13_B05 L131-132]. The last state is the honest
one — the form closes AROUND the cut and the cut is still there. LOSS: the row rules the
pattern-grammar logged for the retry, and the design adds one thing on that branch — the pocket is
harder to read than it was, and the player can see that it is. No fail-wall.
DEMONIZED FIGURE. Nothing here is malevolent, nothing is possessed, nothing is a spirit to be driven
off, and nothing has a face. The spine says the same twice — a perception-and-restoration encounter
rather than a kill, and a sacred teaching restored, never a target of malice [CH_13 §10 CH13_B05
L129-132; § Boss structure L102].

reproduced. The composition in frame is this game's own type-accurate referenced composition

EG_0203, and §8 binds the plate set to that at every line.
composition, the lowered head and crossed back hooves with radiating lines is not used as decoration
and never as an idle: in this region it is a word [south_africa.md § 3; SRC_00202]. The safe and
correct default, and this sheet's instruction, is that the panel's figurative content is at rest and
the potency posture is not drawn at all.
HL_0028 binds: the panel isread at reverence depth, never as a tier-6 vril-signature [CH_13 §10 CH13_B02 L117]. The player is
never given a mode in which the wall's potency is visible as an effect, and §4's zero-emission ruling
is the same rule seen from the art side.

no sacred ceremonial material is reproduced in audio, animation or text, and the player is never

for every human figure in frame. NO PLATE IN THIS SET IS BRIEFED FROM A "SPIRIT," "DEMON,"
"POSSESSION," "HAUNTED" OR "CURSED" PROMPT OF ANY KIND, because that prompt class is exactly where a
generator's horror stereotype lives and it would defeat the row's own parenthesis at the first step.
(1) THE BRIGHTENING WAS REMOVED AND REPLACED WITH CROWDING (§4, §6). Recorded as a reduction because
it changes an authored element. The devil's-advocate reading is real: a glowing surging wall is
immediately impressive and the crowding is subtler. The pass rules the change CORRECT AND NOT TIMID
on three independent grounds — the light law bans emission outside three families and this subject's
element is none; a glow reads as nothing in the raking afternoon light this pocket actually has; and
a wall that gets FULLER is more oppressive than one that gets hotter, because the player's own
faculty — reading — is what is being taken away. Menace is increased, not reduced.
(2) THE ENCOUNTER WAS CHECKED FOR THE DEFANG TELL AND THE STAGING WAS NOT SOFTENED. The doctrine's
tell is that a climactic opponent made PASSIVE is a defang, and a perception encounter is where that
hides. The pass refuses the passive staging: the surge is real pressure, the false completion is
genuinely attractive and genuinely costly, a wrong trace takes ground back, and the row's own 20 on
the direct axis is spent rather than abandoned. What was NOT done, and is recorded so a later lane
does not read the omission as an opening: the panel was not given a figure, an attack, a voice or a
malice, because the row forbids all four.
(3) THE CUT IS NOT REPAIRED ON THE WIN. Considered as a reward and REFUSED. The kit's own last
ability rules it and this sheet agrees at full strength: the encounter does not repair the
desecration because it cannot, and a game that let a puzzle undo it would be lying about what was
done to this range. That is the opposite of a softening — it is the chapter's grievance kept intact
and handed forward to the fight that is actually about it.
substitution motion, the crowding mechanism, the five bare-rock surfaces, the class-break rule that
makes the false completion checkable, the six tell shapes and the pocket-echo channel are INVENTED BY
THIS SHEET and are the game's own. The five entoptic form classes and the model's stage structure,
the panels as a knowledge-system, the eland-potency complex and the crossed-hooves rule, the potency's
invisibility, the reverence-not-sight reading register, the non-reproduction rule, and the

the tradition's drawing.

SET: no plate reproduces any identified real panel, site or image, and no plate is briefed from a
photograph of protected cultural property; no plate draws an eland in the lowered-head crossed-hooves
radiating posture, because in this region it is a word; no plate depicts a figure, face, silhouette,
eye or body in the surging geometry; no plate is briefed from a spirit, demon, possession, haunted or
cursed prompt; nothing in any plate emits, and every plate is lit only by daylight already in the
shelter; and PLATE G is mandatory, because a restoration encounter with no restored-state plate has
never drawn its own win.

which means the register's law should read "the convention's own articulation points, figurative or
generative," and a sheet in the generative variant declares its form classes and their joints. The
doctrine lane owns the edit.
KIT_BE_0013_S3's BRIGHTENING IS A LIGHT-LAW DEFECT AND THE FIX IS ONE MECHANISM, NOT ONE ABILITY.Abilities 2, 5 and 11 describe the surge as brightening and the slack as a brightness drop; the
element visual law bans emission outside the three emitting families, and the kit's own element cell
for every one of those abilities reads none. Ability 9 is NOT in this list and the distinction is
worth keeping — "more beautiful than the right one" is a claim about attractiveness rather than about
luminance, and it needs no change. Nothing in the kit's design needs to change either — the crowding
mechanism in §6 preserves the tell, the slack, the counter and the window exactly — and the edit is a
wording change on three cells. THE KIT LANE OWNS THE EDIT; this sheet does not make it.
mesh_tags.morphology EMPTY on this row, and §2 is what fills it — with the caveat that the valuethis row wants is not a morphology in the sense the other three rows mean it. The census that ordered
this leg measured the sheet's base_species block as the only surface answering shape on the boss
registry; this row's answer is a REGISTER rather than a body, and a morphology column that can only
hold body words will either take a wrong value here or take none. That is a schema finding, not a
design gap, and the registry lane owns it.
hitzone_parts EMPTY — the SURFACES meaning BE_0009_S3 recorded, now on a second row and in asecond chapter, and therefore no longer a one-off. Two rows, one meaning, and the column still cannot
tell it from the seven others.
BLOCKERS, and the region page already files both as MUST-ACQUIRE with the shelf holding only a review
of the second [south_africa.md § 16]. The encounter is buildable now on the five cited entoptic
classes. What the acquisitions would change is PLATE A, PLATE D and PLATE G — the register's real
vocabulary, its regional variation, and the relationship between the geometric and figurative
material on a single wall — which is §8 and §2's form library, and nothing in §6 or §7 moves.
BE_0009_S3 FILED, arriving asecond time in a different medium: complete drawn states swapped on a frame boundary with no
blending, driven onto a real surface with correct occlusion and no shadow of its own. Two authored
encounters in two chapters now depend on it and nothing in the wave list owns it. This row adds one
requirement to the request — the states are authored on a CURVED, GRAINED, NON-PLANAR rock surface
rather than on plaster, so the projection has to follow geometry the artist drew for.
"The geometry never occupies a painted image" is exactly the class of rule a decal system, a stray
AOE or a physics prop will violate silently, and EG_0206 carries ten hard-line references. The same
requirement recurs at every protected surface in the arc and it should be a build-time rule with a
check.
phase_voice_array EMPTY on a row whose phase voice is the POCKET'S ECHO — an acoustic property ofthe arena rather than a voice belonging to anyone. That is the sixth consecutive chapter in which
this column turns out to belong to something other than a boss's mouth, and the third distinct
non-boss owner.
pip_count AND pip_reveal_threshold EMPTY on a Puzzle-dominant row whose win is a chain of correctreads with a wiping wrong answer — the ruled puzzle-boss template's natural shape. Whether the five
spans are the pips is a registry judgement and it is not this lane's to make.
T0_Boss_Attack_Rail carries 0 rows.
