Setup
- Twelve stages over 242 seconds: January's Air workings, the Mojave, Cameron's arrival, the private phase, Parsons's solitary February 28 communication and the March sequence.
- Three flies. Cameron appears in the arrival and private stages and is absent from February 28 and March.
- The March altar carries green and gold fabric, cup, book, dagger, flame and a blue-faced copper disk with a gold star; the Air Tablet is folded face-inward.
- Five cameras: overview, altar, scribe, black box and Parsons POV.
Measurement
- Retinal-only neural windows during playback; recorded windows are actual model measurements.
- Movement follows a pre-programmed timeline. It is not selected by a supernatural agent or learned by the fixed connectome.
Limitations
- Private rites are represented only by closed curtains and elapsed dates. The ending leaves a notebook and an empty box; no literal birth or supernatural success is asserted.
- Room layout, furniture, period disc recorder, Mojave ridgelines and gestures are approximate reconstructions. No recorded music or spoken ritual is included.
- Crowley's novel Moonchild (1929) supplies title context only and is separate from Parsons's working.
