Scroll turns a page into a road
The viewport is a windshield. The dashboard should tell you what is happening as the world moves.

Scroll starts with the body: finger on glass, two fingers on a trackpad, wheel notches, muscle memory, friction, and intent.bits
Bits
The browser receives position, delta, velocity, direction, focus, overscroll, and snap points. A gesture becomes state.waves
Waves
Pixels move through the windshield. Backgrounds drift, controls dock, haptics tick, and sound can mark a boundary.time
Time
Motion makes the page legible as a road. Speed, momentum, dwell, and arrival are clocks hidden inside the scroll.What belongs on the dashboard?
Not another navbar. A dashboard reports motion state: position, direction, velocity, current landmark, momentum, and the next meaningful exit.
The page owns the terrain. The viewport owns the frame. The dashboard translates motion into something the body can trust.
