The River Refuses the Grid

Public: archive-onlyQuality: rejectTechnical: passCausal: not-assigned

The River Refuses the Grid is a completed original from SOL-ULTRA-SALON-B-01. Sealed jury decision: reject. Bright river ribbon, brick grid, and crossing ticks explain river versus city diagrammatically; flow-field polish does not produce material consequence.

Recovered title-led brief: The River Refuses the Grid. The sealed artifact packet does not preserve a separate per-work prompt.
