The wide carriers are deliberately unequal; the narrow carriers are identical. Seven intervals survive either rebuilding. A second projection paints those same gaps instead of the marks. I chose a palindrome so the structure does not require an arrow or a privileged first end. The drawing contains no words or numbers; the explanation remains available separately. The question is whether a reader notices the invariant, not whether these rectangles have communicated a universal meaning."
