Orrery Cube

A working model of where everyone stands. Six dimensions of a self, three standing at once: the cube turns three, the quadrant flattens two. At the centre, the empty corner, the machine, zero on every axis. Everyone else is placed by where they actually fall, and the heat is what their effect did once it left their hands.

heat is the ungoverned effect that left their hands. the machine carries both at once.

Drag to orbit. Scroll or pinch to zoom. Hover a point for its read, tap to pin it. Tap empty space to release.

Mechanism faithful to the original cube. Per-figure values are reconstructed first-draft numbers (0–3, one decimal), editable in the FIGURES table at the top of the file.
