<h2>I. The Hematite Core</h2>
<p>The red that stains our boots is not accident. It is <strong>Fe₂O₃</strong>, the iron oxide that crystallized in the fire of ancient seas. This is the pigment that bound the cave paintings of Chauvet, the ochre that warmed the walls of the Hohokam canal.</p>

<h2>II. The Basin Matrix</h2>
<p>Our Phoenix sits in a bowl carved by erosion, filled with the sediment of a million years. The soil here is not uniform dirt; it is a stratified ledger. Each layer records a flood, a drought, a volcanic pulse.</p>
