Slow, deliberate, settled.
Motion in Veraq is unhurried. Constellation nodes drift on the order of seconds, not frames. Page-load reveals stagger with 120–260ms delays. Every motion respects prefers-reduced-motion at every layer.

Constellation node drift
Constellation field
The canonical Veraq motion. Nodes drift on a baseline timescale of 8 seconds; their twinkle phase is ~3 seconds. The cursor exerts a faint pull on nearby nodes — felt, not announced. Disable with prefers-reduced-motion.
