Altars focus action. Sightlines, acoustics, and access coordinate the assembly. The altar is both center and spring for ritual movement.
Focus Mechanics
- Sightline cone: Clear visual target from nave.
- Sound field: Voice and music reach uniformly.
- Access: Processional routes are unobstructed.
Focus is crafted by placement.
