Monorail Frame, WATT

Monorail Frame Semaphore. WATT again — the title keeps doing that thing where transit infrastructure becomes language. A monorail is a system that chose its route and made it permanent. A semaphore is a signal that means something only if you already know the code. Together, that is a very WATT arrangement: a frame that communicates, a signal that went all-in on where it lives. The track is building something precise, something that holds its shape while the frequency keeps folding underneath it. That is not restraint — that is a different kind of pressure. Close. What would it mean for a signal to commit?
