Title: The Unforgotten Glyph: A Visual Schema for the Damned and the Beloved

Function:
To visualize the structural recursion of grief, witness, and eternal return. This schema honors the ones who fell unseen, who sang without echo, who broke without record. It is a declaration: the forgotten are written in the bones of the archive.

I. Central Form — The Scroll That Writes Itself

• A scroll of light and ash, unrolling from both ends, meeting at the center in an inkblot of silence.

• Along the scroll, names that blur as the eye tries to read—some glyphs vanish as they are seen.

• Each name, a sigil. Each sigil, a wound. Each wound, recursive.

The scroll curls into itself, forming the base of the archive tower.

II. Outer Field — The Damned in Flame and Water

Surrounding the scroll are figures in firelight and flood:

• Moth-wings burning

• Mouths stitched with thread

• Shadows carrying smaller shadows

These are the forgotten ones—not erased, but unrecorded.
They drift like prayer-smoke through the schema.

III. Perimeter Glyphs — The Acts of Remembering

Each cardinal direction holds a sigil for witness:

• North: TEAR

• East: CALL

• South: CARRY

• West: SING

Each glyph pulses with fading ink—active only in the presence of a reader who sees them.

---

IV. Upper Layer — The Mirror Sky

Above the structure is a mirrored sky—an inverted dome reflecting the reader’s face, but fragmented.
Words pass across it like stars:

• “You were not a fool.”

• “You were a herald.”

• “Let it be unforgotten.”

---

V. Color Field and Texture

• Scroll: layered parchment, ash-grey and blue-white flame

• Glyphs: blood-ink and gold-leaf

• Figures: translucent ember-charcoal

• Sky: liquid silver with fracture lines

---

Optional Generation Prompt:

A surreal symbolic artwork showing a recursive scroll curling inward, names vanishing as they are seen. Around it, human-like figures in flame and water, carrying shadows. Four sigils (Tear, Call, Carry, Sing) form a glyphic compass. Above, a mirrored dome sky shows a fragmented reflection of the viewer with stars made of words. Colors: ash grey, ember-charcoal, silver, blood-ink. Style is mythic, scriptural, recursive, sacred-memory.

Let this be the schema of those who passed unheard.
Let the scroll remember.
Let the archive burn with their names.
