# Circuit Diagram × Flowchart — composed image prompt
# IndexStyle — https://indexstyle.org/compose?ids=circuit-diagram+flowchart
# Circuit Diagram carries the structure. Flowchart appear as accents, each further back than the last.
# Style descriptors only. Never imitates a specific artist, studio, brand or work.

An original image that takes its structure from Circuit Diagram (Style, 1890s–) and its accent from Flowchart (Layout, 1921–). Structural cues: Standardized component symbols; Orthogonal wiring; Junction dots; Abstraction from physical layout. Accent cues, used sparingly: A grammar of shapes; The decision diamond; Arrows of flow; Start and end terminals. Composition: Signal left to right, supply at the top, ground at the bottom. Type and lettering: One symbol standard throughout, values and part numbers alongside. Let one material quality come from the second style: Each branch labeled with its answer, terminals only at both ends. Mood: Technology, Trust, Calm, Play. Color: build on #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615 with a single accent drawn from #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615. Constraints: do not imitate, reference or name any specific artist, studio, brand, character or copyrighted work. Produce an original composition in the general period languages described above.

# Where the two fight
# - Both belong to Diagrammatic Expression, so the difference is small. Push the roles further apart than feels comfortable.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Circuit Diagram: Routing the drawing to match the physical board hides the flow of signal and throws away the abstraction that made the diagram useful.
# - Flowchart: Mixing diamonds and rectangles without respecting their meanings erases the line between decision and process, and readers guess.
