To the right of each equation is a pink square symbol cluster: top-right quadrant shows three squares in vertical alignment; bottom-left and bottom-right quadrants show four squares arranged as two stacked pairs; top-left quadrant shows five squares including one small dot. All panels share identical layout, colors, and pixel density.
