Zellige Girih

Moroccan zellige — a girih star lattice whose cells hold the content.

Swatch shows the same line — Signal over noise — rendered in this material, so the surface is the only variable.

Prompt formula

SURFACE:  Hand-cut glazed terracotta tesserae assembled into a girih pattern. Every single piece is chiselled by hand, so edges are slightly irregular, no two tiles are identical, and the white lime grout lines between them wander a fraction. Glaze is thick and uneven — pooling darker at edges, with crazing, pinholes and gentle colour variation within one nominal colour, and a wet reflective sheen catching a soft window light. The geometry is authentic girih - an interlaced star-and-polygon system radiating from a central 16-point star rosette, with strapwork bands weaving over and under, and a plain border band of alternating tiles. Palette - the classic Fez range — deep zellige blue, turquoise, white, saffron yellow, terracotta and a little olive green. Slight tile-surface undulation across the panel.
SKELETON: auto by page role (cover / chapter / list / compare)
DEVICE:   the page's argument drawn as a form native to this material
END:      Full-bleed 16:9 — render DEVICE on the SURFACE, per the page's composition.
CRITICAL: title in clean legible English; NEVER invent extra words or non-English glyphs;
annotations only as marks / numbers / dimension lines; no UI, no cards, no captions.
