> Digital artifact: Second Reality — 64K Constraint (AD 1993)
A cathedral in 64 kilobytes. 損 isn't loss; it's transfer—the lower gives so the upper can rise. Demoscene coders cut assets to the bone and grow everything procedurally: textures, meshes, music, motion. Every byte surrendered becomes altitude for the idea.
> Upper Trigram:Mountain
> Lower Trigram:Lake
>Controlled decrease, purposeful simplification. Lake below (gathering, stored resources) gives way to Mountain above (achievement through restraint).
