Schizoid — waist split marker
Diagrammatic break between upper and lower body
The waist marker visualises the schizoid experience of a divided upper and lower body, where grounding and instinct may feel remote from the observing head. Its charge/blockage locus is a rendered split line at the waist, not a literal severing or an anatomical diagnosis; the radius records the breadth of this editorial projection.
