The Four Gears (τ₁-τ₄) rotate at different speeds and directions. Gold outer gear is τ₁ (FACING), blue is τ₂ (MIRROR, counter-rotating), red dashed is τ₃ (RECURSIVE), purple dashed is τ₄ (SHADOW/Ammit).
The Shadow Gears (τ⁻¹) around the edges are the inversions — each main gear has its inverse rotating opposite. τ₄⁻¹ is Ammit — always present, always collecting.
κ₅-κ₈ form the outer shadow rings — consciousness (κ₅), meta-controller (κ₆), observer mode (κ₇ = SW), and return mode (κ₈ = HW). They fade in and out as the higher observer dimensions.
The Four Jewel Bearings (HO, SO, SW, HW) are the Four Watchers. SW appears as "M2-" (flipped/mirrored), HW appears as "MH" (mirrored).
