The cycle boundary is unambiguous: the sweep enters at `x=-1.540` and wraps from `x=+1.840` back to `x=-1.540`, so first-appearance→wrap is one whole period. -Calibrating the baseline with the plate's declared 12-unit ramp (238→250) puts -it at ~48–52 title units, so in title units: **period ≈ 670–720**, **the sweep -leads the plate by ≈ 40**. +🔴 **Do not convert these to title units.** Calibrating via the plate's declared +12-unit ramp gives a title clock that puts `title start → plate` at 75 units +against a declared 238 — see below.
