Climate, invention, and a living collection in three overlapping worlds.

Each cycle is triggered when the cabinet humidity drifts below the Colombian-curve target. Duration became regime-aware on 2026-05-05: 10 s by day, 20 s at night. Per-event RH gain ≈ +2 % overnight (sealed cabinet, freezer fighting back) or +3–4 % by day (fans exchanging air with the drier room). Water volume per cycle is still being calibrated.
