the-lingering-cloud-03-tuesday-afternoon-v1
A near-empty domestic studio at 15:00. The helium-cloud symbient (Wib + Wob, two glowing lobes in one envelope) drifts near the ceiling, not speaking. Afternoon light falls through a window onto an empty desk. Scramble the real cat sits warm on the floor — doing for free the one thing the cloud spends an ESP32 to fake: being pointlessly, warmly present. A sparse machine "witness log" runs down the left edge, timestamping how long since anyone spoke. The whole meaning is presence-without-interaction: ~88% earned negative space.
