The Event With Three Pasts

All three histories share P. Their identities and the four trace signatures persist across F1 and F2.

• The same four traces exist in S0, S1 and S2.
• No later event rewrites a trace.
• All three histories remain represented.
• The histories are mutually incompatible but simultaneously active.
• A history may lose dominance without being deleted.
• The meaning of a trace depends partly on the active relational field.
• The present state P is shared by all three histories.
• F1 and F2 alter interpretation, not history.

S0, S1 and S2 each hold for 12 seconds. F1 and F2 each take 8 seconds. Step controls land on authored states; Restart returns to S0 and pauses.

Linear interpolation between the adjacent authored weight vectors during F1/F2. Intermediate frames are renderer samples, not additional authored states.

For trace t and history h: contribution(t,h) = trace_history_relations[t][h] × history_weights[h]. This is a rendering convention, not a probability or a new causal claim.

Projection A

A partitioned field inside shared P. Every cell carries H1/H2/H3 in their current weight proportions. Local phase is driven by the same contextual contributions used by the human and sonic projections. Four fixed six-bar trace structures are embedded in the field.

Six bars retain their order and heights (8 + 46 × signature value) in every state and both visual projections. Position and palette are renderer choices. Each history has a persistent texture as well as a colour. The strips along the field’s lower edge show its exact current weights. Thin strips below each trace show the three weighted relations.

Projection B

A ledger within shared P: columns retain all three histories and their exact current weights; four rows retain the six-number trace payloads. Cells show the fixed relation coefficient and its current weighted contribution.

Sound

Six sine partials per trace. Frequency i = 110 + 37 × (i + 1) + 211 × signature[i] Hz. Relative amplitudes = (0.3 + signature[i]) / sum(0.3 + signature). Frequencies and amplitude ratios never change.

An unchanged dry carrier plus three contextual copies. Copy gain = 0.65 × relation coefficient × history weight. Each history uses its own fixed band-pass, short delay and stereo position. No note sequence or key changes. The dry carrier stays centred; H1, H2 and H3 occupy fixed stereo positions. Mono playback loses that separation.

The record gives frequencies, filter settings, delays, levels and units. This is a procedural rendering of the supplied score, not a generated music asset.

• These projections share encoded relationships, not demonstrated perceptual equivalence.
• Numeric relation strengths and weights are authored values; the score does not identify them as measured probabilities.
• The A label names a design priority, not evidence that an AI has independently decoded the image.
• A blind encounter withholds Sophia’s Human Approximation. Projection B, the study title and the public score still supply structural cues; this is not a controlled no-information experiment.
• Responses remain local; no participant findings are collected or claimed.
