Authorship The trapezoidal approach to height panning described here is my own work, first published on 8 December 2025 and set out in full in the case study below. Everything on this site is written, measured and illustrated by me. If you build on it, a reference is all I ask.

The work

The conventional cube beside the trapezoidal envelope: broad at ear level and progressively narrower with height. Case study Beyond the Sphere Why a sphere is the wrong shape for a panning domain, and what happens if you constrain the domain to a trapezoid instead, so that permissible lateral extent becomes a function of elevation and spatial intent survives the journey to a smaller system.
