Scriptome production relief

A literal-geography 3D companion to the contiguous tile mosaic. The seas-fixed land mask is assigned by nearest region centroid; each region is a single log-height stratigraphic prism rather than an area-packed spike field.

Counts are not production; catalogues are not completeness; estimates are inferences. Survivorship is the subject of this page, not a footnote.

Data-relief, not real terrain: elevation is log manuscript production, not a DEM.

relief legend

Column height = log total produced
Century segments, chronological with oldest at the base
Solid/opaque within a century = extant attested manuscripts
Translucent/hatched within a century = inferred lost production
Translucent cap = low-high uncertainty band
Identity tint + borders + labels show region extent, separate from production height
group-inherited estimate — not cell-specific.
Terra incognita: low fog, not a sized peak
Grey uncharted land: low ground

The 2D mosaic remains the area cartogram. This relief is literal placement: nearest-centroid Voronoi over the same land/sea mask, with real polygons deferred.

Internal bands are proportional composition inside the log-height column; log heights do not add. Lost equals produced minus extant, floored at zero.
