// ── TEMPORAL STAGES ────────────────────────────────────────────
// We render the FINAL frame. These stages describe how the totem
// resolves from paper field to packed glyph ecology.

STAGE 0 — PAPER FIELD (t = 0.00)
  Warm aged cream paper fills the frame.
  Faint vintage paper fiber texture at low opacity.
  No ink, no silhouette, no glyphs.
  Margins reserved: left and right at 8–12%, top and bottom at 6–8%.

STAGE 1 — GHOST BACKGROUND (t = 0.10)
  Faint oversized abstract circles appear in the background.
  Washed-out brush blocks hint at the compositional zones.
  Ghosted geometric symbols sit at 3–5% opacity.
  All background elements are very low contrast — barely visible.

STAGE 2 — MACRO SILHOUETTE (t = 0.20)
  The subject's outer silhouette is drawn as a large container.
  Elongated along the dominant axis by 1.35×.
  Selected extremities exaggerated by 1.7×.
  The silhouette is immediately recognizable at 3m.
  No glyphs yet — only the container.

STAGE 3 — ANCHOR CLUSTERS (t = 0.35)
  Signature features (anchors) receive their densest glyph groupings.
  Each anchor zone becomes a distinct "region" of the totem.
  Anchor gravity pulls nearby glyphs into tighter clusters.

STAGE 4 — GLYPH PACKING (t = 0.55)
  Forty to one hundred twenty glyphs are placed inside the silhouette.
  Poisson-disc sampling ensures no overlap.
  Negative space reserved at 18% of container area.
  Every glyph is a distinct primitive (triangle, circle, spiral, wedge,
  stripe, dot, zigzag, hook, fork, eye, tooth, loop) rendered in a mode
  (standing, compressed, stretched, sleeping, running, side-profile,
  front-facing, folded, abstracted, symbolized).
  Every glyph reinterprets the subject differently.

STAGE 5 — CURVE SPIRALIZATION (t = 0.68)
  Curves in the silhouette and glyph edges spiralize where curvature
  exceeds a threshold.
  Repeated appendages (legs, fins, feathers, antennae) become rhythmic
  spikes.
  Small facial features reduce to geometric marks.

STAGE 6 — MACRO OUTLINE (t = 0.78)
  The outer silhouette edge is redrawn as a hard ink line.
  Rough analog print quality: slight break, uneven width.
  No double line. No fill behind the outline.

STAGE 7 — SCREENPRINT PASS (t = 0.88)
  Ink applied as flat nearly-black-navy fill.
  Dry screenprint texture: missing ink specks, scratched pigment,
  uneven opacity across glyph interiors.
  Optional dusty-salmon accent applied to ≤ 15% of glyph area.
  Background faint circles and blocks remain barely visible.

STAGE 8 — FINAL POLISH (t = 1.00)
  Paper fibers visible at close zoom.
  Edge print quality verified.
  Silhouette verified readable at 3m.
  Glyph count ≥ 30 distinct shapes.
  Negative space verified at ~18%.
  No logos, no watermarks, no text.
  No photographic fragments anywhere.

// ── HARD CONSTRAINTS HELD THROUGHOUT ───────────────────────────
1. Outer silhouette preserved and recognizable at thumbnail scale.
2. No glyph crosses the outer silhouette edge.
3. Glyph overlap = FALSE; negative space ≈ 18%.
4. Every glyph reinterprets the subject differently.
5. No two glyphs are visually identical.
6. No photographic fragments; purely graphic primitives.
7. Palette limited to 2 inks + cream paper.
8. Print texture mimics mid-century screenprint.
9. Elongation 1.35×, extremity exaggeration 1.7×.
10. Curves spiralized where appropriate; appendages spiked.
11. Three reading levels: 3m totem, 1m ornament, 20cm glyph ecology.
12. No logos, no watermarks, no text.

// ── CAMERA ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Format     : 3:4 or 4:5 portrait
Angle      : flat overhead, poster-framed
Resolution : 8K
Post       : no gloss, no drop shadow, slight ink bleed

Output: one 8K mid-century graphic totem poster, fully inferred from $ Subject.
