Dimensioning Error Machine Code Printout

The printed page Adric holds, originating as either the Central Registry or Monitor's output, contains rows of stark Earth computer symbols that smudge slightly in his grip. The dense machine code—arrayed in tight, foreign glyphs or stark symbols deemed 'clumsy but serviceable'—represents the fragile fault line in Logopolis’s dimensioning routine. Whether thermal-printed with curling edges or cheap printer ink, its weight is slight but its meaning immense: the first visible manifestation of the fatal dimensioning flaw threatening to unravel Logopolis and everything it anchors.
