PROTOTYPE v1 · UNCONFIRMED GEOMETRY
three candidates.
11/04 — log
corners hold, edges leak
3 of them. only 3.
prr wxxn
WHY ONLY 3??
tried four. failed.
no fifth shape works
vmm pq · vrxx
entry begins 11/04
qrrz · pmnn?
touch all
three sides
three sides
— in one motion
close the loop
or it won't take
or it won't take
tried tracing once. nothing.
tried twice. nothing.
it has to be CONTINUOUS
one stroke. all sides. no lifting.
pqrr — vmnn — krrz
readings ↑
ssh, vrx vptr
test under exposure?
→ exposure doesn't matter
it's about the GEOMETRY
vxxr pmm · qrrz
"the shape remembers"
amos's words. 11/01.
not it
still not it
cross the
center
center
x or + ?
either works.
just must intersect.
just must intersect.
mrll qsx
two strokes.
they must
intersect.
they must
intersect.
tested 7 patterns.
parallel lines — no
circle inside — no
spiral — no
ONLY INTERSECTION HOLDS
vmm · prrk · qsxx
size doesn't matter
it did. now it doesn't.
recheck this.
geometry?
which one
holds longest
holds longest
log durations:
△ — fades fast
□ — stable, brittle
○ — STILL HOLDING

THE CIRCLE
it's the circle. has to be.
but why does it hold
no corners = no leaks?
trying again
trying again. again.
hold inside
longer
longer
don't lift
don't EVER lift
3 seconds
continuous
continuous
started at 1. failed.
2. failed.
almost.
3. HELD.
qq · vrn lkkl
→ closed only
11/12 — entry resumed
vrn lkkl xxr
slept four hours
can't stop thinking about it.
prr · qsxx · vmnn
the shape WANTS to hold
we just have to let it.
bind inside.
each one.
each one.
one of these three.
test all three together?
cczzr · vmm pqrr
geometry inconsistent
one of these
will work.
will work.
ONE OF THESE WILL WORK
vxx prr
qrr mxx
krrz pmm
→ no
"hold."
why does it always slip
3.
only ever three
never four. never two.
WHY
cant sleep again
its 4am
qrr vmm qrr
3 SIDES
obviously 3 sides idiot
all of them. each one.
ONE STROKE
lift the pen = lose it
lost it agian. 4th time today
3 ?
NO
cant remember when i ate
doesnt matter
FOCUS
the shape is the shape
but it isnt is it
vxx pmm krrz
geometry =/= shape
FIGURE IT OUT
the boundry holds it. not the shape.
or is it the closure
closure not shape
CLOSURE
but they all close. all three.
prr vxx mnn qrr
tried small. tried huge.
SAME RESULT
i hate this
DAY 8
or 9. who cares
days dont matter the bond does
vrr pmm xxn
amos said this would happen
he didnt say it would feel like this
KEEP GOING
+
×
either works
i think
YES EITHER WORKS
7? more like 30
lost count weeks ago
NONE OF THEM WORK
except the intersection
always the intersection
○
THIS ONE
it has to be this one
please be this one
vrn qq lkkl
11/14 — still here
no corners no leaks
no edges to escape from
CIRCLE = CONTAINMENT
but containment of what
amos would know
amos isnt here
FIGURE IT OUT YOURSELF
DONT LIFT
DONT LIFT
i keep lifting
my hand cramps
i think i bit thru my lip
HOLD IT
it slipped
it slipped agian
slipped
HELD.
finaly held. 3 seconds.
i cryed
11/14 — still here
how long has it been
does it matter how long
prr qsxx vmnn
the cat watched me do it
she knew before i did
SHE KNEW
i'm imagining things now
SO WHICH ONE
all three? one of three?
test them. test all of them.
DO IT
why three
krrz pmm vxx
amos?
amos.
FOCUS
again
why three
