Chromatic Data Sequence Matrix: A reproducible visual encoding system with cross-domain equivalence introduces a novel visual framework for encoding temporal data through a structured system of chromatic nodes. Each node represents a discrete time unit within a fixed sequence, where color variation encodes state intensity and outlined markers indicate event-based anomalies or optimizations. This work demonstrates that a vertically arranged, grid-based matrix can simultaneously function as a temporal sequence, a signal graph, and an event-driven timeline. Through a one-to-one translation of a controlled 10-second segment, the system is shown to be equivalent to conventional models such as Signal Graph and Timeline, while extending their capabilities by integrating intensity, sequence, and annotation into a single perceptual structure. A reproducible dataset and LaTeX-based research package accompany this publication, enabling direct validation and further exploration. The framework draws on principles from Data Visualization, Color Theory, and Signal Processing, proposing a hybrid visual language that bridges analytical rigor and perceptual intuition. The Chromatic Data Sequence Matrix offers potential applications in real-time monitoring systems, human–machine interfaces, and non-verbal data communication, where compact, multi-layered visual encoding is essential.
