The Witness Disk
The same cosmos as The Three Witnesses, now viewed from above. The North Pole sits at the center; the South Pole becomes the outer ring (the "ice wall"); the equator is the prominent circle at half-radius; the universal band of the zodiac wraps around it. Drag the figure across the disk — the horizon curve sweeps the heavens as you move, and the same stars become visible or hidden as in the sphere view. Same data. Different projection. Both true.

Reading the Disk
The North Pole sits at the center. The South Pole, in this projection, becomes the entire outer ring — what Scripture knows as "the ends of the earth" or what flat-earth tradition has called the ice wall. The equator is the bright golden circle at half-radius, the Bridegroom's circuit through the heavens.
Same Cosmos, Two Projections
On the previous app, The Three Witnesses, you saw the cosmos as a sphere — Earth at center, celestial sphere around it. Here you see the same cosmos in flat-earth form: a disk with the North Pole at center, the South Pole stretched into the outer ring, and the equator drawn as a circle at exactly half the disk's radius.
This is not a different cosmos. It is the same one, expressed in different coordinates. The mathematical transformation from sphere to disk is the azimuthal equidistant projection, and when equipped with the projected metric ds² = dr² + R²sin²(r/R)dψ² (the way distances actually work on the disk), the disk is provably equivalent to the sphere. Every observation that holds on one holds on the other. Every visibility check, every horizon curve, every constellation arrangement transfers exactly. This is what we have called Claim A.
The Lord hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion.
Jeremiah 10:12
What you're seeing in the disk view
The disk is mathematically what cartographers know as the standard azimuthal equidistant projection from the North Pole. It's the layout used in the United Nations emblem, in many polar-region navigation charts, and across the entire flat-earth tradition. In this projection the equator falls precisely at half the disk's radius, the polar stars become the geometric center, and the southern celestial pole — Sigma Octantis — becomes a single point on the outer ring rather than a single point on the opposite side.
The horizon curve that follows the figure is the great circle 90° from their zenith, projected onto the disk. At the center (North Pole) the horizon is exactly the equator circle — they see the entire northern celestial hemisphere. At the outer ring (South Pole), the horizon is again the equator circle — but they see the southern hemisphere instead. At the equator itself, the horizon stretches from the center to the outer ring, dividing the disk in half. The math comes out the same as in the sphere view; only the picture changes.
The Universal Band
Notice the golden tint and the constellations clustered around the equator circle and the tropics. This is the universal band — the region of the celestial sphere where the sun runs its annual circuit and where the twelve zodiacal signs sit. Because the ecliptic stays within 23.5° of the celestial equator, every zodiacal constellation falls inside this band by geometric necessity. From every point on the disk, no matter where the figure stands, some part of the universal band is visible. This is why Scripture's named constellation — Orion, the Hunter, the one stretched across the celestial equator — is the only one named by proper name in the Hebrew Bible. It is the universal witness, visible to every eye on Earth.
Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.
Psalm 19:4-5
