  * These are the painted books themselves. Aaron: *"the library books being

  * thinking you'd have the same image but with pieces darker that you could
- * activate in that layer, so the actual background comes alive. These overlay
- * books are doing more harm than good."* He is right, and the reason the old
- * ones could not line up is structural: they were rectangles placed at the
- * room's LIGHT points, which mark the shelf lamps, so a mark landed near a
- * shelf and never on a spine. A drawn book can only ever approximate a painted
- * one.
+ * activate in that layer, so the actual background comes alive."* So nothing is
+ * drawn: archiving darkens the painting inside one of these rectangles, and the
+ * thing that stands out is paint the painter put there.
  *
- * So there is nothing drawn any more. Each entry below is one spine in
- * `room-shelves.png`, read off the painting: six shelf rows, four volumes on
- * each, spread along the row and kept clear of the ladder and the sleeping cat,
- * which are the two things on that wall that are not books. Archiving darkens
- * the painting inside one of these rectangles, so the volume that stands out is
- * a volume the painter put there.
+ * Each rectangle is one BAY of the wall — the run of books standing between two
+ * posts on one shelf, from the ledge up to the shelf above it. It used to be one
+ * spine, four to a shelf and spread along it, and however much work had been
+ * finished the wall read as a book lit here and there: twenty-two spines of the
+ * several hundred painted, and the rest of the wall could never change. Aaron:
+ * *"the whole background of books should be able to be darkened."* A bay is how
+ * much of the wall one finished commission is worth if the whole wall is to
+ * fill, and a filled bay is a thing the eye counts where a single darkened spine
+ * among dark spines is not.
  *
- * The order is the order they are handed out in — along each shelf, top row
- * first, which is how a wall of books fills.
+ * The bays stop short of the three things on the wall that are not books. A
+ * lamp is what lights the wall, and a shade taken down with the books beside it
+ * reads as the light going out; the ladder and the sleeping cat stand in front
+ * of the shelves rather than on them. Where one of those stands in a bay, the
+ * bay is cut at its edge, and a sliver too narrow to be read as books is left
+ * out rather than marked.
  *
- * Read off the painting rather than authored freehand: each rectangle is a
- * column of that panel where the paint is a spine from the shelf above it right
- * down to the ledge, which is why the marks sit flush with the volumes either
- * side of them rather than hovering somewhere near a shelf.
