We have obtained the deepest optical dataset ever taken or planned towards the bulge, allowing bulge/disk decomposition down to F606W=23 and variability monitoring over seven days, diagnostics not available for any bulge field observed by Chandra. We propose ACIS-I imaging to identify X-ray point sources in this field. This will directly trace a number of fundamental yet poorly-constrained parameters of the inner Milky Way, for example the spin-down timescale of stars along the disk and bulge; the formation history of the bulge and, for the first time, direct constraints on the gravitational potential of the inner milky way through AGN-enabled absolute proper motions. Our proposed survey will be an essential calibrator for other X-ray/optical surveys of the bulge both past and planned.
