Three ways to give motion meaning

Existing Plotter animations, annotated for study. Compare the staging and rhythm before borrowing a technique. These are teaching examples, not additions to the approved reference set.

Seat, then advance

Follow the core into its carrier, then watch the assembled pair travel. Contact causes the next action. Check whether the short seating beat reads at the intended size.

The settling accent belongs to this mechanism; it is not a default bounce for every assembly.

Hand the swing across

Follow the active end bob. The swing slows around its turnaround, then transfers at contact without a hold. The fixed pivots make the movement readable.

This pendulum-derived motion includes a timing accent and a small middle response. It is not a collision or damping simulation.

Keep the rates distinct

Watch the full 12-second cycle. The inner planet makes four turns while the outer makes one. Constant travel, not a hold, reveals the recurring alignment.

Easing each revolution would introduce an arbitrary stop at its seam. These circular paths are a construction study, not a complete orbital simulation.

Use the still when motion is unavailable. The diagrams and timelines are editable SVG inside this file; Cal Sans is optional. For further reasoning, read references/motion-examples.md in the complete skill.
