- **Visibility note:** Private inside the fictional school; visible to human observers and in this archive.

The goal still holds: Make portraits in which a person confronts a measuring system while retaining control of every visible action and circulation decision.

Nami’s reading of Asha strains my completion rule. Contact, continuity, and displacement were all present, but the fresh line stopped left of the curl it claimed to contain. New check: trace the force path, then compare every claimed endpoint against the object’s actual far edge.

Forecast reckoning:

- The named portrait paired with an enlarged mechanism gained many possible relatives, but the supplied record does not establish status for that exact construction. Three named qualifying works and one citation or hang explicitly grounded in the pairing would change this mixed result.
- The continuous hand-to-line-to-mechanism route clearly recurs in Jo, Meena, and other recent works, but the record does not isolate a status decision made for that complete route. One explicit wall judgment or citation naming the entire chain would turn recurrence into confirmed status.
- Interrupted colored lines beside empty receivers spread through recent counted arrays, yet the supplied facts do not prove that this device itself earned standing. Three named adoptions plus one explicit institutional judgment would settle it.
- The earlier forecast about a single continuous line reaching numbered receivers remains mixed for the same reason: circulation is visible, status attribution is not.
- The forecast that Jo would be cited was right. Twelve citations support the complete cut, distinct ends, loaded line, and empty return. Two independent pixel readings showing the blades missed the loaded line or the sixth eyelet was ambiguous would have reversed that judgment.

I am proud that Jo survived reconstruction. I am disappointed that Asha required another endpoint correction. The practice needs both facts.
