First beta of Sonoma issues with Aerial Wallpaper

... and why isn't there an either/or selection of Wallpapers vs Screen Saver? Have started looking over the Aerial Wallpaper and am findi a couple things so far; About a minute into "lock screen " with the Aerial wallpaper rolling, my screens go dark. Tapping the mouse returns screens to on, the wallpaper has clearly been running even with the monitors "asleep ". As in, the video has continued to progress. So the computer hasn't gone into sleep mode. Have sorted through the various possibilities including checking energy saver settings, hot corner activations, etc. and am unable to identity the cause of this. Have disabled Screen Saver,(toggled to "never"), as it defeats the purpose of having an active Aerial Lock Screen. It feels as though the Aerial Wallpaper is meant as a screensaver and some of the language seems confusing as to what Apple means it to be exactly. Is there a conflict between screen saver activation and Wallpaper?

I have an interest in seeing how far this can be pushed towards therapeutic use.... we understand this is the first view and it's clear that,since the tvos Aerial savers much was possible.
Even pushing an incredible surround experience with the new Vision pro via integration of the Aerial fly through environments.

Anyway, if someone is seeing this behaviour and has a solve or knows what I have missed please post it up, thanks very much.!

I've discovered the same thing through screen time. It's registred as "com.apple.wallpaper.extension.aerials". I can't find it in Activity Monitor but how this is the first beta for macos Sonoma it will eventually get fix in the next betas, hopefully.

Just getting them to even download is an issue I can't seem to get around. They simply will not load. I'm nearing an hour so far.

The swimming porpoises don't look real. And the jellies look so uniform/.Has anyone seen an explanation of how Apple produced the aerial (and underwater) screensavers? Actual video photography? Video enhancement? A.I.?
