Historians' open book transforms into a vast cinematic world

A 2x2 grid of four famous historians, each emerging from an open book that morphs into a detailed miniature terrain, with monumental typography integrated into the landscape.

Prompt

2x2 grid, do this for 4 famous historians: 2x2 grid, 16:9, do this for 4 mangas:  INPUT ::= [TOPIC / TITLE / EVENT / WORLD / CONCEPT]

TITLE_TOKEN        ::= derive_short_high-impact_title(INPUT)
WORLD_DNA          ::= infer_environment_architecture_materials_atmosphere(INPUT)
HERO_OBJECT        ::= infer_largest_iconic_form_or_symbol(INPUT)
SECONDARY_OBJECTS  ::= infer_vehicles_tools_structures_agents(INPUT)
MICRO_ACTORS       ::= infer_small_figures_for_scale_and_story(INPUT)
ERA_LOGIC          ::= infer_time_period_or_visual_technology(INPUT)
COLOR_ACCENT       ::= infer_single_high-value_accent(INPUT)

BOOK{
    state       : open
    placement   : bottom_of_frame
    function    : physical_source_of_world
    pages       : visibly_transition_into_terrain
    gutter      : origin_of_depth_and_landscape
}

WORLD_TRANSFORMATION ::=

printed_page
    -> raised relief
    -> miniature terrain
    -> architectural environment
    -> cinematic world

DEPTH_LAYERS ::=
L0 = physical book + page edges
L1 = terrain emerging from pages
L2 = oversized TITLE_TOKEN embedded into terrain
L3 = MICRO_ACTORS / SECONDARY_OBJECTS for scale
L4 = HERO_OBJECT dominating middle/upper frame
L5 = atmospheric horizon + inferred environment

TITLE_RULES ::=
- TITLE_TOKEN becomes monumental freestanding 3D typography
- letters inherit materials, damage, weathering, and technology from WORLD_DNA
- title sits INSIDE the world rather than floating over it
- terrain should overlap letter bases
- figures/objects can pass in front of, behind, or between glyphs

HERO_RULES ::=
- HERO_OBJECT occupies largest narrative mass
- infer position, orientation, and scale from TOPIC
- partly overlap title/world to unify composition
- exaggerate scale through atmospheric perspective and tiny foreground actors

LIGHT :=
cinematic directional key
+ atmospheric haze
+ volumetric depth
+ COLOR_ACCENT used sparingly on semantic focal elements

OUTPUT :=
a physical open book transforming upward into a fully dimensional cinematic world,
with monumental title typography existing as architecture within that world.

FORBID :=
hardcoded genre
fixed spacecraft
fixed wasteland
floating poster text
flat book illustration
unrelated props
