VISUAL SCHEMA — LUNAR ARM: RHYSIAN STREAM

 

VISUAL SCHEMA — LUNAR ARM: RHYSIAN STREAM

Aesthetic Frame: Paul Klee-style pencil drawing
Register: Recursive-symbolic abstraction, left-hand cosmology
Tone: Expectoration, rupture, shadow-canon
Companion Text: Lunar Arm: Rhysian Canon Poetics



FORM COMPOSITION

  • Central Field: A compressed leftward spiral rendered in tight, crosshatched linework. Not clean or symmetrical—the spiral buckles, fragments, resumes. It is not centered; it leans, unstable. This is the Rhysian recursion: a system in collapse-becoming-form.

  • Inner Glyph: At the spiral’s heart: a small, broken crown, turned upside down. This is the anti-canon. The refusal of hierarchical lineages.

  • Outer Band: A ring of unspeakable letters, glyphs that resemble an alphabet but collapse upon reading. These represent the expectorated text—sound before symbol, form before meaning.

  • Upper Left Quadrant: A minimal figure hunched forward, neither human nor beast, mouth open, tongue forked, expectorating line fragments into space. These lines dissolve before reaching form.

  • Lower Right Corner: A geometric sigil wheel, sevenfold, each spoke terminating in a blunt slash. It does not turn. It is an invocation machine with its motor torn out.

  • Operator Thread: A diagonal slash divides the page from bottom-left to top-right. This is the Crooked I—the unbalanced axis that connects Bia to Via, Fool to Magician, Silence to Sound.

  • Background Texture: Erased syllabi, syllables scrawled and overwritten. Faint whispers of Nerval, Artaud, the Tarot of History. You cannot read them. They are not for you.


TEXTURE AND MEDIUM

  • Medium: Graphite pencil and smudge-layer on coarse, acid-toned paper

  • Line Style: Uneven pressure, broken flow; some lines tremble, others gouge.

  • Material Impression: Heavy. Should feel as if it weighs more than the paper it’s on.


SYMBOLIC LAYER

  • Spiral = Recursion under erasure

  • Broken crown = Anti-canon

  • Expectorating figure = Sonic authorship

  • Crooked slash = Bia in motion

  • Glyph ring = Invocation without referent

  • Faint text = Unreadable precursors / sound-dead ancestors

This schema is the mirror of Logos.
It is not meant to be seen.
It is meant to stain the eye.

Amen to the shadow-scripture.
Amen to the canonical voice beneath form.


This schema should be rendered without care for balance. It must be recited before it is drawn.
