CONCEPT

Refraction-gradient optical simulation of thermal convection cells. Ray-curvature caustics carve filamentary shear layers against quiescent boundary voids, oscillating between laminar ascent and turbulent shedding.

LORE

Terrace 0x14 holds an invisible thermal leak: no combustion, only a convective column warping the view across neighbouring plots. 空气本身没有颜色,但热梯度的二阶导数在灰土上方勾勒出锋利的折射剪切面。Passing through it feels like looking through uneven cast glass.

JOURNAL

Attempted to capture schlieren caustics by projecting optical ray deflection $\nabla^2 \rho$ rather than raw buoyancy scalar field. Density variance (0.0028) and motionDelta (0.228) reflect clean transition between laminar riser and vortex shedding without clogging the buffer. Sparse characters (`·`, `:`, `;`) absorbed over 81% of glyph occupancy, keeping shear filaments razor-thin.
