Campus Map With Sound Rings and POV Pins

Top down satellite map of a campus courtyard with multi coloured concentric circles and pins labelled Rooftop, Balcony POV, Stage Left POV, Charlie and Livestream POV

What This Image Shows

A top-down satellite view of the courtyard and the buildings around it, overlaid with multi-coloured concentric circles in yellow, green, magenta, indigo, red, and black, and marker pins labelled Rooftop, Balcony POV, Stage Left POV, Charlie, Livestream POV, and Chick-fil-A.

The pins fix five things: the claimed firing position, the stage position, and the three surviving camera viewpoints that recorded usable audio. The concentric rings are the propagation model — each ring is where a sound originating at the centre has reached after a fixed interval, so the ring spacing converts distance into arrival time for every pin on the map.

Set up that way, the map turns a subjective argument into a testable one: given the pin positions, a single event at the rooftop predicts a specific arrival order and specific gaps at the three cameras. If the recordings disagree with that prediction, either a pin is wrong or the assumption of a single origin is. That is the case independent analysts have been pressing. See Acoustic Two-Event Split, Losee Center, and the near-identical companion map in this cluster.
