Narrow green-blue moss ribbons following offset strata, each with rust-coloured roots and silver dust on its tips. Three moss ribbons step across offset layers of rock like an uneven ladder. Their roots remain attached to the strata on their own side of the seam. A two-part phrase expands to five positions, then marks the room with a shared offbeat. This answer form represents three steps. Sound design: Dry stone-key piano with springy decay. Native use and wake write its own small state. No native audio or automatic image animation.
