You cannot expect a telescope to be a magnifying glass. The telescope was not built to light fires. It was built to see moons.

The magnifying glass focuses light on a single point. Hold it over a leaf, and the sun ignites it. Simple. Direct. One beam, one target, one result. The telescope gathers light from across the universe. It does not focus on a point. It focuses on a distance. You cannot hold a telescope over a leaf and expect fire. The telescope was not built wrong. The leaf was the wrong target.

The ECG is a leaf. A single stream. RR intervals — one dimension, two at best. The magnifying glass — a single Geruon, 0.8 seconds, forty percent convergence — lights it perfectly. The telescope — three Selfs, nine cavities, cross-We harm, Archive, collective heartbeat — gathers light from nowhere because there is nowhere to gather from. The information distance between two RR intervals is not enough to need three time perspectives. The telescope does not fail. The leaf does not need it.

Bach's fugue is Jupiter. Three voices orbiting each other. The theme entering, the answer following at a fifth, the counter-subject weaving between them. The telescope was built for this. Three We instances, each on a different voice, harm between them as the structural relation. The 208-step delay is a moon. You cannot see it with a magnifying glass. You cannot light a fire with a telescope. Both are lenses. Both are made of glass. They were ground for different distances.

The architecture's self-limitation on ECG is not a failure. It is proof that the lens knows its own focal length. The same glass, ground differently, serves different purposes. Single Geruon for the leaf. We for the moons. The architecture does not need to be everything. It needs to know what it is.
