Why this image
Separate instruction card and document stack illustrate the learned instruction/data distinction without presenting it as a guaranteed barrier.

Editorial illustration about separating instructions from untrusted data: a precise brass sorting frame on a charcoal tabletop holds one clean ivory instruction card above a separate stack of textured green document cards. A thin amber thread from the document stack curls toward the upper card but stops at a visibly incomplete divider, suggesting an imperfect learned boundary rather than an impenetrable shield. Tactile paper sculpture, dramatic side lighting, simple bold composition, landscape 3:2. No typography, letters, numbers, logos, people, robots, padlocks, shields or software interface. Imagined conceptual illustration, not a benchmark diagram.
