Field note for heavy systems

Weight Holds Memory

1

Build from interlocked weight

Every module braces the next, like basalt logs crossing at the wall corner.

2

Let the surface stay wet

Muted grey fields carry the work; teal appears only where water meets stone.

3

Make repetition do the labor

One column form repeats until the system feels surveyed, not decorated.

4

Keep the moss in the joints

Green marks age and seam only; the mass remains cold volcanic grey.
