Overall, Under the Witch -v2025-01-10- -NumericGazer- is a compelling experiment: formally rigorous, conceptually brave, and quietly mournful. It transforms counting into conjuration and invites readers to consider whether pattern recognition is a tool for survival or a way to postpone grief. For anyone interested in contemporary crossovers between code, ritual, and lyricism, it is a work worth returning to — not for narrative satisfaction, but for the slow, fidgeting pleasure of watching sense get reassembled, number by number.
