A8 WALKABOUT — GEOMETRY PROTOTYPE v0.1b

One deterministic driver. No Earth texture. No constellation redraws. Geometry first.

DAY SPIN: OFF

LIGHT: NIGHT ALL AROUND

CYCLE TIMER: A8 SECOND

ROUTE: LON 64 ↔ 320

A8 LAT: 0 → 128 → 256 → 128 → 0

NORTH POLE → south on LON 64 → EQUATOR 128 → SOUTH POLE 256 → continue straight → north on LON 320 → EQUATOR 128 → NORTH POLE.
The globe itself rolls continuously about the fixed equatorial reference axis 192 ↔ 448. The sky panel now follows the A8 pendulum swing directly from the latitude ruler: 0 → 128 → 256 → 128 → 0.

Geometry rule: every sky point is transformed from one master point set. Mintaka is the rotation center only as an easy visual reference. The faint background points rotate with the same sky layer, because the whole visible sky—not Orion alone—is the reference field.

STOPPED-CLOCK VISIBILITY: MINTAKA is the named visibility anchor. The original rigid constellation geometry and 256-A8 pendulum continue even when line of sight is lost. Named stars below the observer’s local horizon are shown faint grey rather than deleted.
