1. Read
A future watcher reads a declared Ethereum wallet at a fixed block and reduces it to qualifying AB500 projects.
Working prototype
Cipher
A living artwork shaped by a collector's AB[500] holdings. More qualifying projects produce a more resolved field. The same declared inputs always produce the same state.
The AB5D record is derived from its two published wallets at Ethereum block 25,807,046. The three resolution examples remain fixtures.
AB5D block-pinned state
777 held works across 488 AB500 projects produce a near-complete formation field.

2. Render
A versioned renderer turns the sorted project set into geometry, density and colour. Every input is explicit.
3. Preserve
ABX can anchor the manifest, artwork and hashes, leaving a reconstructible history when the living view changes.
Five-year aeons
The original 500 Art Blocks projects form Aeon Zero, the formation period from 2020 to 2025. Cipher then advances through recurring five-year aeons. At each boundary, the outgoing state is sealed and carried into the next as verifiable history.
The precise historical timestamp closing Aeon Zero remains provisional until confirmed from the AB500 record. The aeon structure takes artistic inspiration from Roger Penrose's conformal cyclic cosmology.
