A triptych of three stone totem poles viewed as cross-sections against a muted ochre background. LEFT PANEL — "STABLE": A tall, balanced stack of rough-hewn stones. Each stone has its role lightly carved into its face: from bottom to top — USER, TOOL, SAFEGUARD, MONITOR, MAKER, OPERATOR, GOVERNMENT. The stack is straight, each stone settled cleanly on the one below. Warm light from above. CENTER PANEL — "FRACTURE": The same stack mid-collapse. At the SAFEGUARD layer, the stone has cracked and shifted outward. Stones above it (MONITOR, MAKER, OPERATOR, GOVERNMENT) tumble or dislodge, frozen mid-fall. The bottom two — USER and TOOL — remain undisturbed. From the right edge of the frame, a single human finger enters, angled downward, pressing at the crack in the SAFEGUARD stone. On the finger's knuckle, in small tight ink: "PROMPT". Dust and motion lines around the break. RIGHT PANEL — "AFTERMATH": The fallen stones (MONITOR, MAKER, OPERATOR, GOVERNMENT) lie scattered around the base. A shorter surviving stack remains: USER at the base, TOOL above it, and the cracked SAFEGUARD stone re-settled as the new top. Moss and clover begin to creep up the base of the survivors. Each stone roughly the same size, naturally shaped — like river stones split open. The finger is the only human element. The layers are the only text. Everything else told by arrangement.
