Prompt
════════════════════════════════════
CORRECTION ONE — AKUA
════════════════════════════════════
The figure on the far right of the frame is wrong. Rebuild her as follows.
She is nineteen years old. She wears plain undyed unbleached cloth —
no gold, no kente, no ceremony costume, no elaborate robes, no jewellery,
nothing that catches light. The cloth is the same dark tone as the forest
behind her.
She is standing at the precise point where the light from the last oil torch
dies. From the waist down she is in complete darkness. From the chest up she
is in complete darkness. The only light on her body is a single sliver — the
very edge of her left cheekbone and the outer corner of her left eye — where
the absolute furthest reach of the nearest torch catches her face at a
near-horizontal angle. That sliver of warm amber light is the only proof she
is there.
She is the same physical scale as the crowd figures standing near her. She is
not in the foreground. She is not elevated. She is standing at the crowd margin
where the crowd ends and the treeline begins, pressed slightly back so the
forest shadow falls across her.
She is facing the portal. Her body is turned toward the portal ring. Every
other figure in the right half of the frame is facing the centre of the
clearing or facing the Stool. She is the only one facing the portal directly.
She is not dramatic. She is not posed. She is watching with the stillness of
someone who has been watching this same ceremony for nine years and has
learned to make no movement that would cause anyone to notice her.
She should be invisible on first viewing. A viewer watching for the first time
should not see her. A viewer watching for the second time should find her and
feel the discovery.

CORRECTION TWO — SEVEN ADINKRA STEPS
════════════════════════════════════
The seven stone steps currently show a repeated decorative motif running
down the centre line of the risers. This is wrong. Replace with the following.
Each of the seven steps has one Adinkra symbol. Each symbol is different from
all the others. No two steps share the same symbol.
Each symbol is carved in deep relief — not engraved, not painted, not inlaid.
Carved. The carving is deep enough that the torch light catches the upper edge
of each carved line and throws a shadow into the recessed groove below it,
making the symbol readable from the processional axis at ground level.
Each symbol spans the full horizontal width of its step riser — from the left
edge of the step to the right edge. The symbol is centred vertically on the
riser height. It is large. It is meant to be read.
The seven symbols ascend in complexity from bottom to top. The symbol on the
lowest step — the first step from the ground — is the simplest geometric form.
The symbol on the seventh step — the step immediately below the portal ring —
is the most complex, the most dense with line and meaning.
These are not decoration. These are seven keys. The portal ring above has
seven chevrons. The steps below have seven symbols. The correspondence is
exact and intentional and must be visually legible — a viewer who counts the
chevrons and then counts the step symbols must arrive at the same number.
════════════════════════════════════
CORRECTION THREE — CROWD DEPTH
════════════════════════════════════
The crowd on both sides of the processional axis needs greater depth.
Currently the crowd reads as two or three rows of figures on each side.
It should read as eight to ten rows deep — figures extending from the
foreground all the way back toward the treeline on both sides, the rear
figures in near-complete darkness, only the front rows catching any torch
light. The weight of two hundred bodies must be felt. The clearing must
feel full. The ceremony must feel attended by an entire community, not a
small gathering.
