PICKED - CANON the wheel-thrown ceramic vessel is gone - real weathered bone with a dense cortical rim around an open trabecular honeycomb at the break, carrying faint dispersed open incisions

PICKED - CANON O1 is the only variant whose incisions stay faint and un-closed; O2 forms a numeral-like sigil, O3 a framed cartouche and O4 legible CJK-like characters, each a fifty-chapter payoff leak.

PICKED - CANON the carved anthropomorphic hand and the closed numeral-like sigil are gone - a natural limestone fracture fragment carrying two short open strokes that never touch and never close

PICKED - canon FOUR-AXIS PICK PASS 2026-08-04: every candidate on this row was opened and scored comparatively on canon, authenticity, register and craft. Verdict MIXED, deciding axis canon.

PICKED - CANON O3 is the only plate obeying the one-small-hard-mark rule (a single red eye in profile, no second glowing eye) while carrying a legible void patch on the flank, on believable bamboo and tree-fern ground over volcanic soil.

PICKED - AUTHENTICITY O3 is the only plate free of modern objects and wrong-place architecture: no clapboard houses, no mailbox, no power pole, no printed sky, just a lean brindle village-type dog on an unpaved track with a single red eye.

PICKED - CANON O1 is the only plate holding both required tells cleanly: one hard mata mbere at eye height on a gaunt androgynous night-form, over the region's own ground (tree fern, bamboo, fan palm, dark ash crater basin), with no artifact anywhere in frame.

PICKED - CRAFT O1 is the only plate whose cliff face and far rim stay clean: no conifer band, no colour-confetti blobs across the strata, an off-axis child in torn mud-stained cloth at lower left and the polo small on the far lip, so the scale relationship reads unobstructed.

PICKED - CANON the spruce-fir conifer horizon is replaced by Flores monsoon canopy, and the mata mbere reads as one hard red point at eye height over a legible chest hollow
