Source refs: `video:predictive-history-dsfmyue7dkk@transcript:v1#seg-0445`, `video:predictive-history-dsfmyue7dkk@transcript:v1#seg-0446`, `video:predictive-history-dsfmyue7dkk@transcript:v1#seg-0447`, `video:predictive-history-dsfmyue7dkk@transcript:v1#seg-0448` - model: In the quoted vision, the circles farther from the One appear wider and move with lesser speed.
