Used as the central anchor connecting all eight unit threads - displayed at the front of the room throughout the term. The four regions are INTENTIONALLY equally weighted around the rim - no region is presented as more central than another. The artifact-as-sixth-source slot is visually highlighted in the cartouche. Each region's central figure is shown in CONTEMPORARY clothing alongside historical reference to enforce the present-tense protocol.

Prompt
