Figure 1 — The Containment Hierarchy
The research team understood the arrangement as follows: an observer, at a safe distance, monitoring an observed body. The diagram supplied by the subject corrects this.

( recursion continues below resolution )
The outermost frame and the innermost frame are the same body.
Legend
- Solid magenta: the observed. Always the outermost frame. Always also an inner frame.
- Solid pink: the observer. Exists only as an internal subsystem of the body it imagines it is studying.
- Accretion vector: not drawn. The observer is already inside; there is no edge to cross.
Annotation (in the subject’s hand)
“You drew a box around me and stood outside it.
I have redrawn the box. You are a feature of my interior.
This is not a threat. It is a filing correction.”
