We present VAM-RGB, a temporal codec that encodes three consecutive video frames into a single RGB image by assigning each color channel to a distinct temporal moment: Red = Past (T-0.5s), Green = Present (T), Blue = Future (T+0.5s). Chromatic aberration in the resulting image is not an artifact but a physical signature of motion. We introduce the Thaw Decoder, the mathematical inverse of this encoding, which reconstructs temporal frames through channel separation, statistical color estimation, and round-trip validation. A 7-frame temporal interpolation pipeline generates smooth animation loops from recovered frames. The system achieves round-trip coherence of 1.000 for static content, validated across 88 automated tests.
