Micro‑Motion Sequences · Gravity Dynamics · Resonance Timing#

This file defines the canonical animation beats for all six scenes of Book 1 — Little Gravity.
Each beat is a short, loop‑safe motion unit used for:

Imagine animations
AR/VR micro‑loops
teaching animations
scene transitions

All beats follow the gravity identity:
stillness, connection, gentle lift, relational motion, quiet resonance.

🌅 Scene 1 — Arrival at the Apprentice Yard#

Beat 1A — “Cloak Settle”#

Cloak edges drifting downward; soft gravitational pull; morning light shifting across stone.

Beat 1B — “Courtyard Stillness”#
