What you’re looking at

Seven pages, seven forms

The sample is not a teaser of blank pages. It shows how the book works: one ancient idea, a short context, one move, and a finish. Every page has its own form derived from that idea.

Interior page The River with three writing stones and a far-bank dot — The River — three stones to the far bank.

Interior cave diagram with a marked shadow and a line to the fire — The Cave — mark the shadow, draw the line to the fire.
