Border system / Field guide
Greek Meander
A border can imply endless continuation while remaining built from one compact unit.
What to notice
The meander advances through repeated right-angle turns. It makes a border active without pointing to a single centre. Variations change line weight, interval and direction.
Editorial reading
In an interface, the principle can organise edges or progress bands. Use an original modular path rather than tracing a historic vessel or architectural fragment.
