Make a radial cycle plate about Sak Tahn Waax, the first Classic Maya mathematician known to us by name. One still image, 1:1 square. FACT (locked, build on it, do not re-research): in July 2026 researchers publishing in the journal Antiquity reported that a formula painted on a wall at Xultun in Guatemala, written in the 8th century and about 1,200 years old, ends with a signature: Sak Tahn Waax, meaning White Chested Fox. It is the only known example of a Classic Maya mathematician credited by name for his own work. The formula links the 260 day ritual calendar, the 365 day solar year, and the cycles of Venus and Mars, which Maya astronomers recorded as 584 days and 780 days, and it joins them in a way found in no other known Maya text. Use these numbers exactly and leave out any figure we have not locked. FLOOR: made with a real frontier image model such as GPT Image 2 or better. Flat vector or hand drawn SVG or HTML fails. Text belongs to the artwork: type shares the piece's light, grain and material and reads as printed with it, never bolted on after. Archives will not be considered. DIRECTION is yours. FOCAL: concentric rings, one cycle per ring, turning around a single centre, so a stranger sees at a glance how 260, 365, 584 and 780 fall into step. YOUR CALL: where his name sits on the face. SURPRISE ME: the obvious take caps your score, the boldest true take wins. JUDGED on wow, then subject, surprise, taste, craft, material. NOT THIS: a flat calendar wheel of clip art glyphs, a stone tablet in a museum case, a pyramid at sunset. TEXT BUDGET: one headline that names him and what he did, plus up to 5 small labels only if they stay legible at phone size. DELIVER: one finished hero image at 1:1, plus concept-note.md and sources.md. Name your model in the submission text, never on the artwork.
