OVER BLACK SCENE CARD
The Abyss Makes Distance Physical
Cameron spectacle is legible because tools have limits. Pressure, tether, oxygen, distance, and machine failure make scale tactile instead of abstract.
Why it works
The underwater-station sequences make distance tactile: tethers, oxygen, pressure, communications, and machine limits keep abstract depth tied to bodily risk.
