The number keeps its meaning.

What this measurement describes

The selected measurement is vertical relative to a defined base or reference level.

02 · Deep

How certain is the boundary?

The physical boundary or individual size can change. Vastoscope uses a documented reference value to make comparison possible.

03 · Compare

What the engine actually divides

Vastoscope compares the SI value in metres for this representative mature height. A ratio is mathematically valid as a linear span, while the interface identifies when the two selected definitions differ.

These anchors are selected by logarithmic proximity from familiar human, engineered, planetary and cosmic references.

Evidence trail

Where this scale comes from.

Vastoscope keeps the displayed number separate from its measurement type and certainty. Representative and model-dependent values are intentionally labelled instead of presented as exact edges.
