1:1 is the plate the box has always cut. 9:16 is the same world in a taller window — the body keeps its square, and the sky, the floor and every corruption pass carry on to the edges. THE ARMATURE answers the shape: in a tall plate the horizon drops and the focal node climbs above it, so a 9:16 is a standing picture and not a cropped square. The shape rides in the DNA, so a card comes back in the shape it was cut.
