Design revision (session 0008): local flow-stabilized Right-axis restyle, neutral scales-of-nature library, navigable infinite-zoom ring with endless encoder, strict-PD sourcing map, and Pi-rendered i18n overlay. Grounded in a local POC this session.

docs(spec): scales-of-nature library + stabilized right-axis pipeline (session 0008) 0238260908

Design revision refining the machine-altered-perception design (2026-06-05):

- Right axis is a LOCAL offline restyle (SD img2img on MPS), not a cloud API
  (refines §4.1/§4.3, §9). Per-frame restyle boils/flickers — disqualifying for
  a peaceful piece — so temporal coherence is now a hard constraint, met by
  optical-flow keyframe propagation (the EbSynth principle, OpenCV impl).
- Content = a small NEUTRAL "scales of nature" library (~4-6 clips, one per
  scale), not a single stitched cosmic-zoom film; keeps the neutral-base thesis
  and interactivity while retaining the awe-of-scale richness (refines §6/§8).
- NEW: the scales form a navigable closed RING joined by short AI zoom/warp
  transitions, driven by an infinitely-turnable endless rotary encoder; diving
  past the microscopic wraps around to the cosmos (refines §2 selector / §11).
- i18n sharpened (§1.2, sharpens §10): Left labels are a Pi-rendered runtime
  graphics overlay (annotation-track + per-language string tables, shaped via
  Pango/HarfBuzz + Noto) — NOT a baked per-language overlay video, which would
  break i18n economics. Added Pi-resolution headroom to open questions.
- Strict-PD sourcing map (NASA/NOAA/NPS/USGS); non-US terrestrial is the CC-BY
  soft spot. Economics: local authoring is ~free, not $300-3k of cloud API.

Grounded in a local POC this session (M4 Pro, sd-turbo, OpenCV flow): all four
axes validated on real footage; deterministic axes ~2.4s, Right flow-propagated
~2.7min/8s clip and calm.
