Visual Spec — invariant-engineering

Purpose

Create an elegant, restrained, institution-ready visual layer for invariant-engineering.

Figure concepts

1. Hero lattice / fabric graph with clear boundary labels.
2. Source-route strip showing provenance, review, formalization, and media routes.
3. Mermaid DAG for dependency structure.
4. Status taxonomy cards.
5. Failure-mode table rendered as compact warning cards.

Caption boundary

All diagrams must be captioned as conceptual model, source map, formalization target, or operational design. Do not use visuals to imply validation.
