Data structure

Target length: under 2,000 words, including quotes.

Row selection

The rule declared in notes-R6 before retrieval selects every coder theme and adds distinct edges: early small work versus later capacity limits, willingness versus live appeal, accommodation versus limited contact, and final contribution versus remnant and damaged remaking. The unpicked joke, extra inscription/target and referral remain visible. These thirteen representative rows show range, not frequency or exhaustive evidence. All coded labels and memberships are unchanged.

EDIT2: I added a much smaller version of this picture, with its measurements, underneath the larger image.

Yeah that seems like a good idea, we'd need larger numbers though.

Not gunna lie i have been paying attention to this all day simply because this is from one of my fav episodes , made way more progress that i thoight we would , nice work woooooooo! 5 (r/blackmirror, 0XJMI5EOZMV632wOsTQk8lVZBo0=, hour 35.96722222222222, c0043) c0043: watching all day and celebrating unexpected progress t03: getting enough people together to place and grow the logos mobilizing scarce participation T4-001: Calibrating collective ambition D01: Feasibility under contingent cooperation
Instead of completely cutting through rainbow road i propose we just do the black outline and have rainbow coloured logos until we reach the other side 6 (r/blackmirror, s5pr3oFqOBifw3gNY0w7k/zSWoY=, hour 32.768055555555556, c0037) c0037: proposing rainbow-coloured logos instead of cutting through rainbow road t04: protecting the logos while working around blue, rainbow, and purple pixels maintaining through boundary negotiation T4-002: Maintaining contingent coexistence D01: Feasibility under contingent cooperation

I did that. Got a message "you can place a tile" went to place some more black and couldn't get on the site.

Edit- not bragging just found r/place so much fun. The white bear logo was looking good, then next time I got on half were purple. So I started working on fixing some. That was late here at night (est). Woke up, checked it out, everything was gone. Looked like someone was writing "salami". Tried again making logos around the three black lines under the salami "I" and kept getting overtaken. Tried that corner it's in and started moving along and was slapped in my face with "it's over". Hope r/place comes along again! 12 (r/blackmirror, id5388uDDIYiP5TXVudiwsxxk+4=, hour 82.55194444444444, c0058) c0058: recounting fixing purple damage, being overtaken, and hoping r/place returns t07: remembering the White Bear work as damaged, remade, and fun memorializing unstable accomplishment T4-003: Retrospective accomplishment without secure possession

Residue

t01 remains outside the canvas explanation: exposing a fake release is a shared joke practice, not evidence of how the drawing was organized. Its row quotes c0003. t05 remains contextual: proposing inscriptions or a precise Tesla target does not establish adoption or capacity calibration; c0042 and c0055 preserve those possibilities. t08 is a contextual, actionable invitation elsewhere, c0060, without observed human uptake. It is neither successful migration nor simply retrospective praise. No residual code is silently put into a catch-all theme.

T4-003 has no dimension. Its retrospective evaluation question differs from the ongoing practicability question of D01; a separate dimension over this sole theme would rename it. c0057, c0056 and c0058 show contribution, reported remnant and loss together. An individual survival claim does not verify the original drawing. No lower label, name or placement was recut for this table.
