Grammar of Metal treats material as language. Each joint functions like punctuation; each surface like syntax. The object does not express emotion—it constructs meaning.
This piece asserts that craftsmanship is literacy. The hunter becomes fluent not through instinct, but through study. Metal is no longer raw matter, but a structured vocabulary.
