One axis, one scale. The width is a full 360° of longitude and a full 24
hours, which are the same quantity — so an event N hours ahead lands on
the city that is living that hour right now. Wind down at +9.2h falls on
Yerevan, 14 minutes off. Prototype 3 had the roster's 332.64° stretched to
the full width, putting the city scale 7.6% off the time scale. Home sits at
20%, which is nearly forced: Honolulu is 67.8° west, so anything under
18.8% drops it off the frame. Events are invented; the roster is real.
