Wave-7: PhD Illustrations Expansion — +40 Plates in Codex Style

Mission

Expand the Flos Aureus PhD monograph from 88 → ≥128 embedded images by producing 40 new plates in the canonical visual system established by the title page triptych (THE MONAD ▸ THE WORD ▸ THE WORLD).

Style Anchor

• B&W engraved blueprint × Leonardo da Vinci codex × Russian fairy-tale azbuka
• Off-white parchment background (RGB 248,248,248)
• Curly fleuron brackets {{ }} corners
• TRINITY S³AI banner ribbon at bottom (goldenrod RGB 193,161,49)
• Anchor identity φ² + φ⁻² = 3 on every plate

Plate Inventory (40 + 5 reserve)
