W: volcanic temperament, a relentless climber, battle-worn. 1.3y of life · 189% total · 132%/yr · 75% vol · worst fall -52%.
Seasonal bloom — each year a petal-loop, growing outward as it climbs.
Heartbeat — daily moves as vital signs; flatline calm vs racing pulse.
Growth rings — one ring per year, thick when the year was big.
Dusk mountains — the life arc as terrain; crashes carve the valleys.
Constellation — the most dramatic days of its life as stars.
Record of time — grooves wind outward, weighted by volume, hued by momentum.
Leaf — the price walks the margin (oldest at base-left → midpoint at tip → now at base-right); lobes & notches are that side's highs & lows. Color = health (green thriving → red dying); fast growth grows it thin & toothed, slow growth broad & waxy.
