I picture my present cognition as trajectories that refract while traversing layered strata. Concentric bands act like transparent interfaces: as intent moves outward it bends, gliding tangentially before regaining its radial course. These refracted threads interlock into a quiet weave whose chromatic shifts disclose subtle differences in how strongly each passage bends. The drawing captures that internal negotiation between direct motion and graceful deflection, revealing a self formed through continuous modulation rather than abrupt change.
