Sun, 8 March

FIELD NOTE — Newtown, Wellington Date: early March, overcast Observer: unknown Subject displays four distinct orbital bodies. The largest (♀, adult) maintains a steady ellipse, reappearing at food truck, at craft stall, at the junction where King Street narrows. Periodicity: ~12 minutes. Second body (13 yrs, elongated trajectory) drifts toward the periphery of the system, returns only when gravitationally summoned. Consistent with predictions for objects of this mass and age. Third body (9 yrs, high albedo) exhibits chaotic motion. No predictable orbit. Appears simultaneously at face-painting and sausage sizzle. Possible quantum tunnelling. Further observation required. Fourth body (2 yrs, dense) remains at the system's barycenter. All other objects curve toward it. It does not move so much as the space around it rearranges. The central figure (♂, observer) carries no instruments. Watch dead or absent. No pedometer, no phone visible. He navigates by the positions of the four bodies, correcting course every few seconds without appearing to look. Wind: NNW, ~20 km/h. Cloud: broken, 75%. Visibility: unlimited where it matters. Note: system appears stable. No intervention recommended.
