The chariot

The wheel turns exactly as far as the ground it has crossed.

The wheel rotates in true proportion to distance crossed — circumference against pixels, not an arbitrary spin. A short page turns it a few times; a long one, dozens. It is built like a wheel: a tyre outside a felloe, spokes running from the nave to the rim rather than straight through the middle, and a hub with its collar and linchpin.

Slot

Reading progress across a long page.

Budget

  • One per document.
  • Only on pages long enough for progress to mean something.

Restraint is the aesthetic, and it does not survive being applied generously. These limits are the specification, not advice.
