Primordial Core
Sunlight catches the ochre sediment as it falls away, exposing an iron core that pulses with a heavy, singular intent beneath the mapped terrain. This buried engine dictates every subsequent movement, casting all later motion as mere fallout from its unyielding gravity. All consequences seem to flow backward toward this crushing weight, turning the landscape into a ledger of debt owed to the center. In this quiet light, the world settles into its original shape.
