Title: What one year of AI buildout looks like beside democratic process
Kicker: AI infrastructure vs civic capacity
Mode: nominal euros

VISUAL LANGUAGE

Use:
- clean editorial layout
- restrained off-white or light neutral background
- subtle orthographic/isometric grid
- high typography hierarchy
- soft shadows only
- minimal gradients
- premium magazine-style composition
- large negative space
- crisp labels and annotations

Avoid:
- chartjunk
- exaggerated perspective
- cinematic lighting
- glossy sci-fi aesthetics
- decorative clutter
- fake scaling tricks
- oversized labels
- icon spam

MATHEMATICAL RULES

Represent every quantity as a true 3D cube.
The cube volume must be exactly proportional to the quantity represented.

Do NOT:
- use logarithmic scaling
- normalize dimensions
- equalize visibility
- resize small values for readability
- use area-only encoding
- distort perspective

Cube edge length must follow:
side_length = cube_root(value / 1,000,000)

Maintain mathematically accurate relative side lengths across all objects.
Tiny values must remain tiny beside trillion-scale structures.
Include explicit scale notes and formulas.

ITEMS
- Citizens' assembly, France: €5 million, category democracy, color #6D28D9, cube side length 1.710 units, volume 5 voxels. Contextual miniature scene: people voting, civic assembly tables, ballot boxes, municipal buildings.
- France election administration: €500 million, category democracy, color #6D28D9, cube side length 7.937 units, volume 500 voxels. Contextual miniature scene: people voting, civic assembly tables, ballot boxes, municipal buildings.
- Meta AI CAPEX 2024: €35 billion, category ai, color #0E7490, cube side length 32.711 units, volume 35,000 voxels. Contextual miniature scene: data centers, cranes, cooling systems, power lines, logistics trucks.
- Global AI data centers 2024-2027: €1.6 trillion, category ai, color #0E7490, cube side length 116.961 units, volume 1,600,000 voxels. Contextual miniature scene: data centers, cranes, cooling systems, power lines, logistics trucks.

ENVIRONMENTAL STORYTELLING

Each cube should sit inside a small contextual miniature scene that communicates the real-world meaning of the spending category. The scenes must remain secondary to the quantitative structure, preserve true cube scale, never visually inflate smaller values, and function like architectural diorama details.

COMPOSITION

Use isometric or near-orthographic perspective, aligned ground plane, shared horizon, and common visual baseline. The composition should make scale disparity emotionally legible at first glance. Small democratic budgets should feel human-scale. Large industrial or capital flows should feel infrastructural or geological.

LABELING

Label every structure with:
- title
- amount
- unit
- side length
- voxel count or equivalent

Use elegant editorial callouts with leader lines. Never place text inside cubes.

COLOR SYSTEM

Use restrained category palettes:
- civic/democracy → violet or indigo
- infrastructure/AI → teal or cyan
- public services → amber or green
- defense → muted red or ochre
- wealth/corporate → warm grey or bronze

Use semi-transparent voxel surfaces with subtle edge definition.

RENDERING STYLE

Style reference: Visual Capitalist, Bloomberg Opinion graphics, Information Is Beautiful, architectural competition diagrams, premium annual report infographics. The image should look like a publication-ready editorial spread, not a dashboard or game screenshot.

FINAL FOOTNOTE

Always include:
- scale definition (1 voxel = €1,000,000)
- methodology note
- source note
- explanation that volume is linear with quantity
- explicit statement that no logarithmic scaling is used
