Rewarming axis (vertical): tissue death is not caused by ice crystals but by the osmotic flood during thaw — water enters faster than solutes can leave. Each row commits once. The wavefront rate at that row determines survival or rupture. No pixel may be revised.
Silence axis (horizontal): acoustic chaos destroys direction not by adding sound but by filling every gap — the microsecond silences that let ears triangulate. As wavefront density rises downward, silence bands narrow until spatial cognition collapses entirely.
