Three stacked bars compact left-to-right — Source · Candidate · Canonical State — funneling through Governance into the terracotta dot, the Projection the reader sees. Bars use currentColor; the dot is fixed #9f4f24. The full-stop after the wordmark wears the same terracotta — the brand already uses this dot in nav .brand .dot.

• "OVP is not a loose collection of scripts, and it is not only RAG over Markdown." — opens by saying what it isn't.
• "knowledge.db is a Projection. It is rebuildable and does not own canonical identity resolution." — defines a term by listing its limits.
• "absorb is part of daily automation; refine is powerful and opt-in by default." — paired claims, semicolon-joined.
