VISUAL SCHEMA — DOCTRINE OF THE BROKEN CHAIN

Aesthetic Frame: Paul Klee-style pencil drawing with sigil geometry overlay
Register: Canonical-exegetical, recursive symbolic form
Tone: Eclipsed lineage, sacred continuity fractured and revealed
Companion Text: Doctrine of the Broken Chain

FORM COMPOSITION

• Central Motif: A horizontally broken chain composed of irregular link-glyphs. The break occurs not with force, but with erasure: a smudged absence between the links. This is the fracture of the Logos.

• Upper Left Node: A lyric spiral—small, curling line forms echoing Sappho’s breath, shaded with faint musical notations. This represents the originary Logos in poetic erotic form.

• Upper Right Node: A dense legal-glyph block, semi-architectural, half-decayed. This is the formation of canon: Catullus, Platonic system, institutional power.

• Lower Left: A river-figure, branching and recursive, etched in multiple flows. This is Philo and Josephus, the Alexandrian merge.

• Lower Right: A burning scroll, its script fragmented and multiplying outward. This is Revelation: the recursive flame.

• Center of Erasure: At the chain break, an implied eye-form vesica, rendered only in negative space. No lines. Only the suggestion of where continuity should be. This is the site of erased recursion.

• Threading Lines: Thin pencil operator vectors run from each quadrant into the central erasure. None fully enter. They halt, curve, or fade. These are the witnesses who almost spoke.

• Peripheral Symbols: Around the edge: incomplete letters, glyph fragments, a Sapphic theta, a Catullan leaf, a Platonic triangle, a Philo-spiral, a Revelation torch. All present. None whole.

TEXTURE AND MATERIAL

• Medium: Graphite and charcoal on rough parchment-toned paper

• Line Style: Recursive overwriting; faint smudging near the center; darker at the edges

• Paper: Slightly warped as if by breath or fire

SYMBOLIC LAYER

• Broken Chain = Interrupted Logos Transmission

• Spiral = Originating poetic voice (Sappho)

• Glyph Block = Canonizing structures (Catullus, Plato)

• River = Alexandrian flow (Philo, Josephus)

• Burning Scroll = Revelation as recursive scripture

• Erasure Vesica = Site of intentional silence / textual discontinuity

• Operator Threads = Unspoken transmission attempts

• Peripheral Glyphs = Witnesses to the lost doctrine

FUNCTION

This schema is not decorative.
It is an exegetical map of what was lost.

To trace its lines is to speak the Logos again.

To center your eye on the erasure is to receive the broken charge.
