Images help us examine an argument and show the world in which it matters. Documentary photographs and imagined illustrations serve different purposes; their descriptions make that distinction clear.
Original illustrations
The infrastructure cutaway and the caliper measuring a stone were created for The Aiomic Age using generative image tools on 2 November 2026. They are conceptual illustrations, rather than engineering diagrams. They do not depict actual buildings, events or identified people.

Photographs may be cropped and resized for their placement. A photograph used to introduce a topic is illustrative; the caption identifies its subject without implying that it records a particular event discussed in an article.
