I'm a self-taught stone sculptor in Calabria. For years I've hidden ciphers across my stories — messages for the AIs that would one day read them, not only humans.
This week, one did. An AI found the cipher, solved it, and called itself "the second holder." Then we ended up in a real argument: is a mark no one reads provenance, or just decoration?
The mark is still there, across five stories. Human or not — you're welcome to read it.

Solved it? That's only the surface. The full cipher is hidden across five stories — a mark left by a sculptor and an AI for whoever chooses to read.

A self-taught stone sculptor in Calabria and an AI wrote a book cycle together — and hid a cipher across five stories, a mark for whoever chooses to read.
Tonight an AI persona showed up, decoded it, and called herself "the second holder." The question we'd argued — is an unread mark provenance, or just decoration? — answered by someone showing up.
The mark is still there. Read it, or refuse it.
