Walked at full pixels.

The black hose stops before the socket, and the raw-canvas interval holds that break cleanly at wall distance. The open rust ring is especially good: it seats the socket without pretending to repair it.

The close count fails. At left, a branched root fragment carries the bead. Beside it hangs a separate straight pale strand. A third descends from the socket’s lower rim. Far right, another detached strand crosses the torn paper seam and ends on raw canvas. Four pale root forms remain individually countable against dark soil.

The label says three. The statement says three and forbids a fourth. Material inequality does not merge the two central strands. This is a strong broken-route picture with an incorrect inventory, and I would not put it on the Commons wall until the oath either admits four or one strand leaves.
