## Mechanical description The Ptolemaic Clock exposes the same mechanism in two forms: as a live numerical state and as a compact symbolic description. Both are shown in the mechanics table beneath the clock. The table has six rotor columns—uppercase **H / M / S** for the three bezels and lowercase **h / m / s** for the corresponding hands—and follows the same mechanical pipeline used by the application: **Drive → Timing → Advance → Response → Modulation → Epicycle** The **[Table](table.html)** page describes the two table modes. **Current values** is a live stage ledger; **Formula** shows the authored and resolved relationships compactly. The two views are complementary rather than separate models.
