One extra JPG, one distance calculation: how a bass-reactive portal made spring and winter share a frame
The temporal portal — a bass-reactive radial hole in the spring layer that reveals a winter panorama underneath — cost one JPEG, one per-pixel distance check, and three lines of bell-curve maths. The seasonal shift was already in the file system.
The portal blooms once at halfway. After that, the bass punches holes in winter.
A bass-masked radial portal already puts winter behind spring — quiet sections show spring, bass hits show winter through the hole. This sprint added the structural move that was missing: at exactly the midpoint of the track, the two 3904×1088 panoramas trade places. The second half runs the same geometry with the seasons inverted.
Bass as a seasonal portal: routing the kick into a radial alpha mask
The captain-random visualiser stacks two panoramas: spring in front, winter behind. The spring layer carries a radial alpha mask whose radius tracks bass energy. When the kick hits, the mask opens and winter shows through; when the energy decays, spring closes back over it.
Three effects, one envelope: how the bass signal became the nervous system of this visualiser
The neon bloom formula was written for one layer. Two days later, the same bass envelope was driving particle wobble and a radial time-portal. That convergence wasn't designed — it was pulled out by the kick pattern of a specific track.
