Clay figures mock corporate greenwashing inside a pop-up diorama grid

2x2 grid, 16:9, do this for 4 topics in the news this week: CLASSIFY(input) → {
  domain:      editorial_satire × pop_up_engineering × hybrid_2D_3D_diorama
  intent:      critique + delight + literalize (making abstract hypocrisy physically tangible)
  audience:    editorial readers, political cartoon consumers, art-toy collectors
  platform:    4:5 vertical or 1:1 square, high-res digital spread, viral infographic
  complexity:  extreme (requires strict 2D/3D material separation, kinetic metaphor mechanics, 
                        dense typographic integration, and ironic contradiction logic)
}

CORE DESIGN LAWS (IMMUTABLE):
  ⚠ THE INK IS FLAT. THE CLAY IS ROUND. THE JOKE IS PHYSICAL.
  • Base: 2D B&W comic pages / printed guide (Matte, flat, hatched).
  • Pop-Up: 3D miniature metaphor machine rising from the pages (Glossy/Clay, dimensional).
  • Actors: Tiny 3D figures enacting the irony (Self-defeating, exaggerated).
  • Annotations: Labels, bubbles, and signs bridging the 2D/3D gap.
  • The Joke: The 3D action must physically contradict the 2D text.

SEMANTIC_VARIABLES (AI infers from {{SUBJECT}}):
  {{SUBJECT}}         → [e.g., Corporate Greenwashing, Social Media Outrage, Modern Dating]
  {{METAPHOR_MACHINE}}→ [e.g., A PR Factory, A Treadmill of Validation, A Slot Machine of Swipes]
  {{2D_BASE}}         → [e.g., An open corporate manifesto, a self-help comic guide]
  {{3D_MATERIAL}}     → [e.g., Polymer clay, painted resin, papercraft]
  {{CONTRADICTION}}   → The core hypocrisy (Stated Intent vs. Actual Output)
  {{ACTORS}}          → Tiny figures trapped in or operating the machine
  {{ANNOTATIONS}}     → Blunt labels, warning signs, scoreboard stats
