Exposure lives on the price axis, time belongs to the tape. The field is one continuous gradient across the strike ladder — colour and opacity are the exposure, and it fades to black through the zero crossing because that is where the field genuinely cancels. Aegis (+) holds price because dealers fade moves; Maelstrom (−) pulls because they chase. The white trace is the real price path from Tradier 1-minute bars, anchored to the last real bar when the market is closed. Time @ price is a genuine profile. The Reach is the ±1σ/±2σ cone implied by ATM IV over the next 18 minutes — the implied distribution, not a prediction. Nothing here is a signal. The Chronicle: the field is recorded (~60s columns, full ladder, GEX+VEX) while a Kairos tab is open and kept ~7 days in this browser — past columns show the field as it was; before the first recording, only the tape draws. Drag to pan time and price; wheel zooms time, Shift+wheel (or wheel over the strike ladder) zooms price; double-click snaps back to live + auto-fit. 30M–5D windows; 1-min bars reach back 20 days (Tradier's limit). The Echo: because OI is fixed all session (OCC prior-settlement), today's field before recording began is reconstructed — the same Black-Scholes × OI pipeline evaluated at each minute's real spot, with current IV (drift not replayed) on an OI basis. Reconstructed columns render dimmer, are tagged in the Lens, and are never persisted — recorded columns always win. The Undertow (bottom pane) is net ±1% exposure through time; the thin gold/teal/magenta tracks are where Crown and the walls actually sat.
