Aura
+9,428 aura
How the aura is measured
| Ĝ, grade, assigned at inspection | III | 0.500 |
| Ê, edge density, the embellishment | 0.436 | 0.406 |
| Ĥ, colour entropy, bits | 7.66 | 0.839 |
| K̂, RMS contrast | 0.236 | 0.688 |
s = 0.5 Ĝ + 0.3 Ê + 0.1 Ĥ + 0.1 K̂ = 0.5245, ŝ = 0.7140 across the inventory. Aura = 8,000 + 2,000ŝ. Nothing in the inventory reads below 8,000. An algorithm, after al-Khwārizmī, الخوارزمي.
Fabrication
| Composition | Gold ukiyo-e print kimono-cut suit.Wrapped and tied with a satin sash.Wide trousers. |
| TaillesSizes | Offered in EU sizes 44 to 56, cut from the house pattern. Or cut to your own measurements, taken on a fitting call, for €450 more. Measurements in centimetres, or in pieds du roi of 32.48 cm on request. Nobody has requested it. |
| Inspection | One further photograph of the work, above. Hold the cursor over any of them to read it at the resolution of the file. |
| L'établiNotes from the bench | The print panel is placed before anything else is drawn. The pattern pieces are walked around the image, and the suit is built so the print reads as one picture when worn. The kimono influence is in the sleeve and the wrap of the front, not in costume details. |
| Colour | #3E1D11 29%#754529 28%#A88059 26%#E4C3A0 18% Four colours, sampled from photograph 1, by share of the figure. |

1,679 bits, 23 by 73. The two primes of the Arecibo message, 1974, so that anyone who counts can find the grid.
- Rows 1 to 5: the numbers one to ten in binary, as at Arecibo.
- Rows 7 and 8: the inventory number, then the aura.
- Rows 9 and 10: the colour, red, green, blue.
- Rows 12 to 67: the silhouette, segmented from photograph 1.
- Rows 69 to 72: a mark of the house.
