The smear was a liability in storage — overlap is crosstalk. In prediction it is the deliverable: a forecast is a distribution, and the spread is the error bar. The box is a hypercube, so the smear lifts a dimension — a 3D cloud inside the 4D frame, collapsed to three stop-motion phases (R / G / B). Step them one at a time to read the fine structure; run all three to watch the forecast drift and widen as the horizon grows.

Reading the flipbook
The peak is the point-forecast — what you'd guess. The spread is the honest part — how wrong the guess can be. Each later phase drifts (the trend) and widens (uncertainty grows with horizon). Stop on a phase to inspect; the spread you read there is the error bar you'd quote.
Status discipline
LiteralA forecast is a distribution, not a point; predictive uncertainty grows with horizon — the smear widens phase to phase.
BridgeThe same spread that is crosstalk in storage is the error bar in prediction; 3 phases as 3 forecast horizons / channels.
SpeculativeThe tesseract is a visual device for "the box gained a dimension," not a literal 4D container; R/G/B-as-phases is the design rhyme.
