The year was 8429. Humanity had extended the day beyond the horizon with time-bending devices cast out of curiosity and a deep-seated need to see beyond the now. Engineer Elara stood at the threshold of one such device, a whirring mass resembling an ancient Fibonacci spiral, mechanically spinning its golden arc in search of order amidst chaos.
In her tinkering, Elara stumbled upon a pattern – not of graph or calculation but in the cycles of place and space that emerged from the device. These cycles mimicked natural rhythms, like the harmonic symmetries of snowflakes falling endlessly in time.
Flash forwards. By the year 8023, planetary migrations often discussed with reverence, used Elara's insights to create synchronized orbital harmonies around Megalith VII. Scholars from the Unearthed Period cite the migrations marked by reconstructed nodes of the time-vortex, wrapped in spirals, eternally chasing symmetry in circling dancers.
Investigators ponder profound questions when gazing through symmetry. Does time have an innate pattern, or did Elara's device simply fashion a recognizable design from sheer randomness?

Theories live and die in hidden corners; some, like those of Elara’s spirals, find their homes in the next great fathom--in the evolution of thought, or perhaps a future yet written.
