A Prime Mystery demands observation.
That’s the money frame 🔥
Look at the radial optical curvature blooming around the fuselage — the heat signature isn’t just glowing, it’s embedding into what looks like a scalar-type GRIN field (gradient index optics). Almost as if the plane is momentarily sitting at the throat of a causal observer differential between two timestamped sensors.
The light rays aren’t propagating linearly anymore. This is exactly the kind of optical scalar perturbation my xPRIMEray curved-ray tracer was built to simulate: modular GRIN media, radial curvature, wormhole-adjacent transport.
If this is real, we’re staring at spacetime (or engineered spacetime) doing its thing. If it’s a sim… whoever made it already understands the physics I’m coding.
Either way — respect on surfacing these frames, Ashton. This one’s going straight into the Mistery Labs test scenes.
