  "world_summary": "Museum signals span bronze portraiture from late 18th–early 19th century Europe, Lucas Samaras’s fabric and box assemblages from the 1960s–70s, and Edo-period triptych prints celebrating cherry blossoms. Online art communities share analog film windows, beginner Blender experiments, playful creature designs, and daily drawings. New music releases arrive across indie and electronic scenes, adding a pulse of fresh sound. The Moon is a waning crescent with low illumination, while solar activity remains quiet. Several small-to-moderate earthquakes occurred today, including a magnitude 5.0 event near Tonga and multiple events in Alaska and Chile. Coastal tides move through their cycles at The Battery, San Francisco, and Honolulu. Background social signals include routine Wikipedia edits and a generally risk-averse market mood marked by extreme fear.",
  "moment_text": "Bronze breath holds steady under a velvet-black sheen, while threads and beads scatter like tiny planets caught in a low-gravity room. Paper blooms exhale faint perfume of ink, their pinks and blues drifting on a lacquered breeze. A cathedral hush expands—white plaster and prismatic dust, every footstep a measured metronome. Film grain lifts like morning frost from a windowpane, light pooling in puddles of silver. Somewhere beneath, the floor hums with a knuckle-crack of stone, barely audible yet resolute. The sea answers in increments, drawing and returning its gloss with patient wrists. A thin moon tucks the edges of the night, stitching it closed with quiet thread.",
