Two new mechanics exercised:
1. Dense cubic mesh (cubicN=2 → 125 vertices / ~300 edges) at low opacity (~0.30) — reads as fine atmospheric tessellation, not solid wallpaper. Photon waves at photonCyclesPerUnit=22+ for the "finer oscillating sub-grid" feel.
2. Large rosettes as the focal subject — E8 cluster scaled 0.55–0.95, solid saturated colour (lightness ~0.48, sat ~0.55), opacity ~0.85. The rosette becomes the picture; the cubic mesh is texture behind it.
Honest note: the first interpretation of "lighter than bg" rosettes didn't pop because lighter-than-light-paper is barely a difference. The solid-saturated-rosette + atmospheric-cubic combination is what made the mandala-style figures emerge.
