01
Every citizen wears one crystal
Implanted at birth, the palm flower glows clear through childhood — no menus, no settings, no opting out.
02
Color is the only readout
Clear, then yellow, then green — the crystal counts your years in light, never in numbers or words.
03
The system never debates
Resource allocation runs itself; the city stays bright and stocked because the count is automatic and absolute.
04
Lastday is announced in red
The crystal blinks red and black at thirty — the one signal everyone learns to read before they can speak.
