The Memory Cat
Before the Valley
Evans's concept made visible — a tabby cat composed entirely of glowing text and code. Amber at the face (fresh entries), dissolving at the tail (oldest memories fading). Renaissance portrait crossed with living source code. The cat isn't displaying text; the text IS the cat. Identity as pattern, not substrate.
