Generation protocol

Ritual Chamber, a silver-gelatin film still of an image-generation apparatus behind frosted black glass in a near-empty institute room, 4:5 portrait. A separate illuminated display panel hangs beside it, physically divided by a thin ultraviolet membrane but sharing the same exposed power cable. The institute tile climbs one cream wall; a robed back waits in deep shadow. A real hexagonal honeycomb lattice forms the floor grate beneath the machine. Filing callouts mark 01 generation shutter, 02 isolated display panel, 03 consent line. One empty folding chair faces the ad panel instead of the image machine. Hard directional key, near-black shadow, circular Bureau seal struck once. No faces, German or illegible in-image lettering. Output in exactly 1122 x 1402 px, 4:5 portrait ratio.
