Every mark carries time
Day-sign rows bind each record to a 260-count cadence.
The Glyph Keeps Time
Tonalamatl notes for a living archive
Place is drawn, not named
Hill, water, and tooth glyphs make a map legible at a glance.
Tribute becomes memory
Maize, cloth, and cacao counts sit in ruled cartouches for review.
Flat planes keep truth equal
No perspective tricks: figures, routes, and duties share one painted field.
