The globe rolls continuously about the fixed equatorial reference axis 300₈ ↔ 700₈. The sky panel follows the native hard-octal pendulum: 000₈ → 200₈ → 400₈ → 200₈ → 000₈.

Scenario B rule: the rotation/reference center is the true celestial-equator point at the selected Scorpius meridian. No star is placed there. Scorpius remains south of the axis exactly as the catalog geometry requires. Display cycle timing is presentation only and is not A8 clock authority.
STOPPED-CLOCK VISIBILITY: ANTARES 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.
