Micro‑Motion Sequences · Heat Dynamics · Transformation Timing#

This file defines the canonical animation beats for all six scenes of Book 6 — Little Heat.
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 series‑wide heat identity:
warm, flowing, transformative, gentle, mythic‑scientific.
