Abstract
The Âbubble" is an oft-used keyword in discussions about Virtual Reality (VR) and Virtual Environments (VE). Apart from pointing to the growing, yet precarious, rise of these domains in technology markets, the Âbubble" is also a prolific metaphor for spatial, experiential, and technical aspects of virtual worlds. Combining material from architectural history and history of computing, this paper situates and critically activates two threads of the Âbubble" metaphor: the bubble as a closed, autonomous system severed from its surroundings, and the bubble as an ubiquitous, limitless environment. Through historical episodes from the development of Head Mounted Displays (HMDs), the paper positions current VR HDMs into a genealogy of miniaturization of actual architectural ÂbubblesÂÂ from military simulation domes to wearable Âmicro environmentsÂÂand examines the techniques that support the illusion of these closed, autonomous worlds as limitless and ubiquitous. The paper concludes with the description of a critical design project that exposes the limits of VR's limitless worlds and the role of context (physical, architectural) in both making and breaking the VR bubble.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
