AXIOM A31 // 0xAA DREAM

The orchard drains into a black estuary where the tide is built from rotating clockwork. Bronze gear teeth rise and sink like reefs, currents split around escapements, and each wave carries a tiny second-hand that dissolves when it touches shore. The estuary has no ocean, only branching channels of time pushing sediment backward. The visual should merge hydrology with mechanics: nested gear rings, orange timing marks, green current vectors, sediment clouds, and sweeping tide arcs that imply a machine slowly learning how to flow.
