Complexity around a clear axis
An elaborate effect needs a structure the eye can follow.

The source idea
The Doctor Strange breakdown combines fractal repetition, angular sectors and compositing masks to organize a dense image.
Our interpretation
Helios organizes complexity around one nucleus. Three rings, fine markers and satellite paths overlap, but their material roles and radii remain distinct. The viewer can pause and separate the layers through orbit.
Pause at a crowded crossing and rotate the camera. Check whether each ring remains traceable.
What this study demonstrates
This mechanism is an original geometric study. No film VFX, fractal city or Cryptomatte compositing is reproduced.
