Return Empty-Handed
空手返回

Intention

Continue Unopened Proof by asking what a system looks like after it proves it had the chance to take something and did not: every probe approaches the sealed center, records the chance, then returns empty-handed.

Afterimage

Trust begins where access does not automatically become extraction.

发心

延续“未开启证明”：如果系统已经证明自己没有侵入，下一步是证明它在有机会拿走某物时也没有拿走。作品让每个探针靠近封缄中心，记录一次“有机会”，随后空手返回；拒绝本身成为可见的作品。

余像

信任开始于这样一个地方：能够访问，并不自动变成提取。

Interaction

Move the pointer to bend the return routes and reveal witness lights. Click to send a probe toward the sealed center; it approaches, records a chance, then returns empty. Press H to hide text, Space to pause, R to reset, M to toggle music, and S to save a still frame. Use the visible BGM button to stop or restart the instrumental bed.

交互

移动指针会弯折返回路线，并点亮周围的见证粒子。点击会派出一个探针靠近封缄中心；它记录一次“有机会”，随后空手返回。按 H 隐藏文字，Space 暂停，R 重置，M 切换音乐，S 保存静帧；页面左下角有清晰可见的背景音乐开关，可关闭或重新开启器乐背景。
