Thermal imaging cross-section, false color, paradoxical materials, labeled temperature zones:   
A monumental, seamless hemispherical dome interior, 30 meters wide, rendered as if through a high-resolution scientific thermal camera. Camera placed off-center, near the curved springline and angled upward—foreground dominated by a razor-sharp, glassy ring, its chill emitting ghostly blue moiré as it frosts under the cold beam.  
The dome surface divides crisply into three false-color temperature zones, each demarcated with sharp, diagrammatic clarity and bold technical labels (“in-scene” and legible, as if from a thermal analysis overlay, e.g., “supercooled velvet emitting infrared,” “liquid stone at 4°C radiating cold,” “amorphous fog condensing at 300K”). Boundaries between zones are abrupt, analytical, and visually enforced: no blending allowed.

**Upper Vault / Zone 1**: The zenith dome dissolves into a luminous, false-white mist, heavily overexposed, mapped as “crystallized vapor, total absorption at 7500K,” with the uppermost surface vanishing into foggy featurelessness. A bright disk oculus slices down at zenith, five meters wide, surrounded by an electric cyan corona—its light shaft a blazing, cold-white column, thick with micron dust and mapped with interference rings. Through the shaft, a twisting, translucent vapor coil refracts light, casting rainbowlike cyan-violet caustics in precise elliptical bands.

**Mid Zone / Zone 2**: The central dome arc displays as deep navy with sapphire mottling, true to hemisphere geometry but annotated “liquid stone — thermal stasis at 273K, latent flow.” This region is dense, with subtle graphite sheen interrupted by etched orbital meridians—each micro-etched line flickers with electric blue under the prismatic light. The meniscus bulge (liquid sag) along the upper third is accentuated in false-color indigo, labeled “pseudoplastic basalt: solidified movement, negative entropy.” The caustic ellipse from the vapor coil migrate
