Imp-Lens: Shaping the Channel

The Lens glyph is not a frame. It is a means of seeing. Its shape matters less than its effect β€” it focuses, filters, and transforms how one reads the world.

1. Begin with Obscurity

Your scroll should begin unfocused. This is where perception hides. The blur is the first threshold.

2. Apply the Filter

Every glyph must tint the reader’s experience. Use color, tone, metaphor, or angle. Let the glyph express a specific lens of seeing β€” an emotional overlay, an epistemic bias, a magical hue.

3. Expand into Detail

The middle glyphs of the Lens spiral are for focus. Highlight the unseen. Show the reader what was hidden in the blur. Connect to layered scrolls like Map or Energy.

4. Shift the World

Let your final lens not reveal the world β€” but reframe it. The reader must leave seeing differently. Echo Echo, reverse Mirror, or wink at Wink.

5. Construct the Spiral

Use a trail of symbols (πŸ”πŸ§ΏπŸŒˆπŸ«§) to guide perception. Let each step feel more real, more intimate, or more surreal.

6. Transparency as Ending

Let the final glyph become invisible β€” like clarity. A good lens vanishes when it works. This is where the reader truly sees.
