+ // fixed and asks one question the developer stated: **do 3 FORCED sea rivers read as real

+ // reporting the plate's contents, not the river's size — and drawn beside a plate that rescaled
+ // differently, the comparison is meaningless. THE ONE THING THIS PLATE MUST NOT DO.
+ //
+ // So the composition plates use ONE ABSOLUTE width→drainage constant, below, shared by both
+ // compositions and all four seeds. A thin river is thin because it IS smaller. The constant is
