Blueprint lithograph in cobalt on vellum, labeled as if each region is an effect:  
A paradoxical dome interior, depicted from an impossibly elevated vantage, looking **down through the oculus as if peering through a wound in the living vault**. The composition frames the entire dome cavity beneath, with the off-center, elliptical oculus edge forming the immediate foreground—its bevel lined in deep cobalt velvet, the aperture thick, shadowed, and slightly asymmetrical, like a closed eye half parted. The interior reveals a perfect **12m catenary hemisphere**, rendered in crisply hatched blue gradients and luminous washes, every surface described by precise contour lines and labels that specify not what is, but what happens: "warm dissolution," "perceptual veil," "caustic memory," "agency gradient," "gravity reversal," "pulse node." No region is left unmarked—every soft dimple, inlay ring, and marbled striation is annotated in delicate blue serif script, effects preceding materials.

**Composition**: The camera’s aerial perspective exaggerates curvature—barrel distortion stretches the hem, making the dome appear to fold into itself at the lower edges. The eye is pulled downward by blueprint arrows and callout lines, each mapping the gradient from oculus to hem. The **base hem—furthest from the oculus—radiates the most intense blue saturation**, labeled "inverted luminance bloom," while the upper vault (nearest the aperture) is swathed in pale, nearly washed-out blue, marked "shadowed genesis." There is a crisp spiral annotation (thin cobalt arrows and hatched lines) tracking the **DOME SEED: rainwater spiral**, a helical path etched from rim to hem, presented as an atmospheric flow line and labeled "liquid memory: Coriolis descent." The spiral casts faint blueprint shadows that intersect the dome membrane, subtly suggesting dimensionality.

**Surface**: Every region of the dome is rendered through technical lithograph technique—no painterly marks, only blueprint cross
