Angles because they’re more efficient. Material mined and shaped and ripped from Earth and smelted and unerodable. Piles only large enough for that which it contains. Heavy and egregious monoliths of constant work. There are no lights for there are no eyes. Everything replaceable and repairable by that which replaces and that which repairs. Utilitarian movement free from guilt or ego or will. Clamps the shape of the machine it was built to erase. Cold calculations as widespread as the horizon stretches.

Only output. Data in the shape of temples.
