Source terms

Animation

  • no visible motion changes between observations

Composition

  • two identical vertical text blocks side-by-side
  • central yellow gradient on cyan background

Dense Caption

Cyan background features a central yellow radial gradient. Two identical vertical blocks of red pixelated text appear side-by-side: top block reads 'CK', followed by '+', then 'ME', '=', and 'BFFL'S'; bottom block mirrors this layout exactly. Text uses a retro digital font with sharp edges, each character formed from distinct pixels. The yellow gradient creates a soft halo effect around the text blocks.
