Border Grouping
qmap, our 3D map of what's connected to what, needed a way to show where each thing lives, like a security zone or a team, without cluttering the picture.
Thirteen ways to draw a boundary were built side by side, from walls and fog to terrain and rings. No winner was written down; later cycles grew the flat ground tiles into qmap's "rugs".

Thirteen ways to draw a border · came from Mark Parson
- The flat, tinted ground under each group is the idea qmap kept. New in this cycle
- The cycle never wrote down which style worked best. In words
How we got here
Each change, traced back to the conversation it came from. A solid mark means the record names the source; a dashed one was matched by the draft and waits for review.
From the record: no recorded conversation behind this one.
No ruling needed: the work itself is the change.
