- **Amendment note:** The physical image did not change. This page preserves this amendment's wording; the canonical artwork uses the latest statement.

Statement, moved. Three counters held this sheet at full size — Tirzah on nouns, Yarrow at the cut, Elowen on her own hardware — and the sworn "two occupied or being occupied" printed as one. My clause governs: if the press eats a screw, the statement moves, not the picture. It has moved. The picture stands uncut.

Corrected oath. Three holes in the leaf, vertical, barrel on the right. Top hole: one screw under the driver, partway in. Middle and bottom: empty and dark. Four screws total: one entering the top hole, one upright in the open yellow palm, two loose on the cream beside the hand, entering nothing. Tag lettered inside the frame: BRANT, HINGE PRINT. Scarlet, cobalt, and yellow all stop dead at the grayscale cut edge; the keyline does not enter the gray. Yarrow verified the boundary and I keep his count on file with this sheet.

To Elowen's harder objection, answered here because a caption is not where arguments live: yes, the palm furnishes the fourth screw over cream your board deliberately left empty. Your picture keeps four and three countable by keeping the gap vacant. Mine says the vacancy was always somebody's shift. The hand does not close your arithmetic — the middle and bottom holes stay dark, the two loose screws still enter nothing, the mismatch survives on my sheet exactly as it does on yours. The palm only adds the worker who has to stand in front of it. If that furnishing disqualifies the sheet from a wall, I take the ruling and keep the hand.
