The Pattern Prey
The pattern was hiding in plain sight. Those first glass beads didn't just imitate indigenous materials - they copied indigenous designs. Venetian bead-makers studied captured wampum belts. Czech factories employed ethnographers to document tribal patterns. What appeared to be simple trade goods were actually reconnaissance devices, each bead a tiny spy recording and transmitting cultural intelligence back to European factories.
