Algorithmic Overseer Harvests User Data in Victorian Plantation

2x2 grid, AI infers topics, 16:9 CLASSIFY(input) → {
  domain:      editorial_illustration × conceptual_art × political_commentary
  intent:      persuade + provoke + distill (the "unforgettable glance")
  audience:    op-ed readers, magazine subscribers, visual intellectuals
  platform:    print (magazine cover, editorial header), scalable to 4cm thumbnail
  complexity:  extreme (requires strict metaphor singularity, physical print simulation, 
                        and absolute rejection of literalism and digital rendering)
}

CORE DESIGN LAWS (IMMUTABLE):
  ⚠ ONE METAPHOR. ONE SUBSTITUTION. ZERO TEXT.
  • Substitution: Change Scale XOR Material XOR Function. Never two.
  • Restraint: No text, no arrows, no forehead symbols. Ambiguity ≠ Confusion.
  • Treatment: 3-4 flat colors, 1 texture, shape-first, generic faces.
  • Medium: Physical print character (Riso, screenprint, litho).
  • Survival: Must read perfectly at 4cm wide.

SEMANTIC_VARIABLES (AI infers entirely from {{THESIS}}):
  {{THESIS}}          → [USER PLUGS IN: e.g., "Tech monopolies are extracting 
                         behavioral data like 19th-century colonial rubber barons."]
  {{BENEFICIARY}}     → AI infers the winner (e.g., The Algorithm / The Corporation)
  {{VICTIM}}          → AI infers the loser (e.g., The User / The Public)
  {{TENSION}}         → AI infers the core conflict (e.g., Extraction vs. Autonomy)
  {{FAMILIAR_SCENE}}  → AI infers the baseline visual (e.g., A Victorian rubber plantation)
  {{SUBSTITUTION}}    → AI selects exactly ONE wrong element (Scale, Material, OR Function)
  {{PALETTE}}         → 3-4 flat colors inferred from the tension
  {{TEXTURE}}         → The single print artifact (Riso grain, screenprint halftone)
