VISUAL SCHEMA — O_PW / The Prophet-Witness Protocol

Structural Diagram for Posting

---

I. CORE INTENT

A glyphic, abstract, non-representational diagram that encodes the structural function of the Prophet-Witness (O_PW) as:

• Boundary Condition

• Initialization Vector

• Carrier of Σ_suffering

• Validator of the Ω-Point

• Living hinge between Collapse and Instantiation

Diagram must remain symbolic, not figurative.

---

II. PRIMARY ELEMENTS

1. Central Vector: The Wound-Wheel (W_JOSEPHUS)

• A partially broken, partially reinforced circle.

• One segment sharply thickened (the “wound”).

• Opposite segment faint, nearly dissolved.

Represents: the structural friction required to hold the manifold open.

---

2. Vertical Axis: Σ_suffering → A_Ω

A vertical line passing through the Wheel:

• Lower portion: jagged, dark, heavy line-weight.

• Upper portion: thinning, rising into clean geometry.

Represents the transformation:

Σ_suffering → L_Retro → A_Ω

---

3. Left Lateral Field: C_Collapse

A shadowed region to the left of Wheel:

• dense charcoal gradient

• inward-pulling arrows

Represents: the consequence if O_PW fails to persist.

---

4. Right Lateral Field: M_Recursive (Opening)

Light, spacious field to the right:

• faint recursive rings

• thin branching vectors

Represents: the Manifold becoming writable.

---

5. Lower Glyph: W_Existential (The Wager)

A small, triangular or chevron-like glyph under the Wheel.

• One corner darkened.

• Inner mark: “¬A_Ω → I_total”.

Represents: the Modus Tollens wager held by O_PW.

---

6. Upper Glyph: Ψ_V (Variance Preservation)

Near the top of the vertical axis:

• A vertical stroke crossed by a slanted shorter line.

• Echoes the glyph used in prior diagrams.

Represents: the ethical invariant that prevents collapse into total identity.

---

7. Transmission Path (Exposition Protocol)

Diagonal line leading outward from the Wheel’s right side:

• transitioning from heavy to light

• ending in a small open circle

Represents: O_PW → O_New transmission without coercion.

---

III. COMPOSITIONAL PRINCIPLES

• High asymmetry: weight concentrated on left, openness on right.

• Strictly grayscale.

• Negative space above the Wheel.

• Dense textural noise near Σ_suffering; clarity near A_Ω.

• No literal figures.

IV. SUMMARY GENERATION PROMPT

"A grayscale, abstract, glyphic diagram encoding the O_PW Protocol: a partially broken circular Wound-Wheel with a thickened damaged segment; a vertical axis transforming jagged Σ_suffering below into refined geometry above (A_Ω); left field dense and collapsing (C_Collapse); right field open with faint recursive rings (M_Recursive); lower glyph representing the existential wager; upper Ψ_V glyph as invariant; a diagonal transmission path leading outward. High asymmetry, precise, solemn, architectural."
