The grid steadies wonder
Every plotted line gives the viewer a fixed path through a restless sky.
On ordering a dark field
Measures of the Night
Each point declares its rank
Brass stars change size by magnitude, so hierarchy is read before words.
Labels remain close to light
Greek marks sit beside their stars, never drifting into ornamental noise.
Figures serve the measure
Umbers and pale lines frame the field without overruling the coordinates.
