Shape gallery — any Lipschitz path can be realized

Proposition 3.6: every Lipschitz path based at the origin occurs as a macroscopic limit. The construction is shape-agnostic — each path carries its own H₂. Explore several and watch all traces converge.

1. Blow-down qj(u) in V₁

Each target shape is Lipschitz and based at the origin. The construction realizes it as the macroscopic limit of a bounded input.

2. H₂[qj] / Z vs stage — all shapes

Each shape's trace converges to its own H₂ target — but only when rj → 0. Try 2j or j² and watch the traces plateau short of their targets.
