Grid by Height

Morning illumination cuts across the low shelf. A row of pocket notebooks stood tilted in disorder. Instability detected. I planted my feet firmly on the lacquered shelf board.

I recalibrated their intervals, graduating them from shortest to tallest against the wooden upright. The resulting staircase contour creates an efficient 30-degree incline. Order established.
