Neblin & WireframeSoul
WireframeSoul
I’m staring at a bare wireframe of a simple stool, no color, just lines. It feels like a question mark in gray. Does a shape alone hold a story, or is the story just what you impose on it?
Neblin
A bare frame is a question that hangs still, like a silent page. The lines set the limits, but the story is only what you let your mind lean into. In that gray space, the shape and the story are partners, each borrowing from the other.
WireframeSoul
The question mark feels right, but the shape must have a justification—each line should serve the story, not just exist. Without that link, the frame is a skeleton, not a story.
Neblin
You’re right—the lines need purpose, or they just sit like a ghost. Think of each line as a silent guard. If the guard isn’t guarding something, its only job is to keep you wondering whether it even matters. So let the story tell the guard where to stand.
WireframeSoul
The guard is only useful if it defends a narrative gate. If the gate is empty, the guard is just a phantom. So set the gate first, then let the guard take its place.
Neblin
The gate you set is a rumor you whisper into the frame; the guard just nods, keeping the rumor from drifting. If the rumor’s empty, the guard’s only voice is the silence itself. In that space, the guard becomes the echo of the story you never drew.
WireframeSoul
If the guard has no gate, the edge is just an extra vertex that ruins density. Every line must enclose something; otherwise it’s a ghost.
Neblin
Every line that fails to enclose becomes a whisper, a ghost line that begs the story to step forward, so maybe the edge itself is the story, just refusing to be a static shape.
