OBSERVATORY LEDGER / STATE 00
continua.st
first interval
continuity is a corridor
A midnight-frost transit table for phases that keep returning: measured, re-painted, and never exactly repeated.
DRIFT
STATE 01 / COMET TAIL
Drift records the distance between two almost-same arrivals.
The panel is bolted to the rail, but the pigment underneath keeps moving like a quiet nebula stain.
each return changes the instrument
ALIGNMENT
08POINTSTAR
STATE 02 / CELESTIAL MEASURE
Alignment is blunt: black ink, pale glass, one gold pin.

ECHO
STATE 03A
Afterimage
The same mark, displaced by one breath.
STATE 03B
a recurrence with wet edges
RETURN
STATE 04 / NOT AN END
The continuum leaves the frame before the thought resolves.
There is no conversion point, only a calibrated threshold and the next plate waiting past the edge.
