# Research notes

## Sources and access
Eleven sources (S01-S11) inspected 2026-09-20T00:21Z to 11:55Z. The registry description is the primary conception document and carries the Genesis 3:19 framing, the 19-edition cap rationale and the drag/arrow controls. The artist's own project page (S07) carries the fuller statement. The registry interview field is null (EX-02). The CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 deed (S08) was fetched for this batch and read. A documentation anomaly: the AB5D dossier pages for Santiago (S06) and Laya Mathikshara (S11) list the identical three works and near-identical metrics; the registry credits 3:19 solely to 'Santiago.' (EX-03).

## Full script inspection
Script from projects_metadata.script via exact-slug query; 19,166 bytes; SHA-256 f1b8cfcdbbb6fe1444d957972921535336d3d7b5d451e4cf5d78ede2b406a6c3 (recomputed locally, matches). Read in full (chunked passes plus symbol map). Coverage: GLSL simplex noise (sn3) shader source; three ShaderMaterial programs; render-to-texture post stage with glitch uniform; class Rand with dual sfc32 seeded from tokenData.hash halves; keydown handler mapping digits to quality steps, arrows (37/39) to time navigation, A (65) to a color uniform, S (83) to glitch; mousedown/mousemove/touch drag rotation; no audio code. Script bytes retained only for hashing.

## Token identity and visual observation
All 19 token records pulled (query in research4/fetch_tokens.py). Five static previews downloaded and viewed (V01-V05), covering over a quarter of the entire edition. Live renderer for 327000018 executed in headless Chrome (V06): hash matched chain exactly; WebGL canvas 1800px wide; static at rest (EX-04); drag, arrows, S and A all produced observable changes; digit keys not exercised (EX-05); zero audio elements; clean exit.

## Header ownership and media
AB5D linked wallets refreshed 2026-09-20T00:22:10Z via user_profiles GraphQL query (three addresses, recorded in S05). Owner scan of all 19 tokens found exactly one edition held: number 18, the final edition of the series, owned by 0xdd19308a9731cdecb67e0d80ca6823394208c045, minted 2022-07-16T10:36:55Z in the closing bulk transaction. Edition 18 selected as header as the sole AB5D holding. Media URL in presentation.json.

## Mint chronology and calculations
First mint 2022-06-14T22:15:25Z (edition 0; pre-activation by 11 days). Activation 2022-06-25T00:46:49Z. Registry start_datetime 2022-07-15T16:00:00Z (= collection page release line). Overnight gap of about 16.5 hours, then edition 1 at 2022-07-16T08:32:25Z, edition 2 at 09:03:25Z, editions 3-13 through the morning, editions 14-18 all at 10:36:55Z (bulk close). About 18h37m start to completion; all 18 public editions in the final 2h05m. Project reported complete=true, locked=true, paused=false, active=true. Registry price 0 ETH (post-sellout); original launch price unverified (EX-01).

## Rights and conflicts
Artwork label 'CC BY-NC-SA 4.0' (registry, with link_to_license); category creative-commons; deed terms summarized from the fetched deed (Share and Adapt; Attribution, NonCommercial, ShareAlike; no additional restrictions). Code licence: none found in script; recorded as unknown. Sole runtime dependency three.js 0.124.0; zero external assets. No conflicts found.

## Unresolved questions and exceptions
EX-01 original mint price unverified (pending). EX-02 no interview (pending). EX-03 Santiago/Laya Mathikshara dossier listing anomaly (pending). EX-04 work static when idle (pending). EX-05 digit quality keys not exercised (pending).

## Actual model, tools, elapsed time and measured usage
Model: Kimi (Moonshot AI), version not exposed. Tools: curl, Python 3, headless Chrome via puppeteer-core, Art Blocks GraphQL, web search/fetch. Elapsed for this package: roughly 25 minutes within the batch session. Token telemetry unavailable; usage.json fields null except timestamps.

## Checks report

| Check | Report |
| --- | --- |
| Identity and package | Slug 319-by-santiago; chain 1; contract and project ID match the supplied roster and fresh registry record; all seven files present. |
| Structure and citations | 1862 words; seven sections in order; essay.md byte-identical to record.json sections via the supplied reading format; source IDs unique; citations resolve both ways (validator PASS plus builder pre-check). |
| Source research | See 'Sources and access' above: every cited source inspected with specific locators; uninspected leads (login-walled) kept here in notes, not in the ledger. |
| Code | Full assembled script retrieved via exact-slug GraphQL query; read in full; SHA-256 recomputed locally and matching evidence.json and record.json; execution disclosed separately (live renderer run). |
| Visual evidence | See 'Token identity and visual observation': distinct token/observation identities V01+ with two sustained close readings in the essay; observer is this agent; motion/controls/audio status stated per work. |
| Header | Fresh AB5D wallet set via user_profiles GraphQL query (three addresses, this session); header token owner matched against the set; media and rights/display basis in presentation.json. |
| History and rights | Chronology and duration calculations in 'Mint chronology and calculations'; current vs historical values distinguished; artwork/code/dependency rights separate; unresolved findings listed. |
| Provenance and usage | Actual model credit (Kimi, Moonshot AI; version not exposed); token telemetry null with explanation; startedAt/cutoff timezone-aware ISO 8601, cutoff at or after start. |
| Validator | Command `python3 scripts/validate_series_essays.py submission/319-by-santiago` run from the extracted pack root at 2026-09-20T01:56:06Z; validator file scripts/validate_series_essays.py SHA-256 f7b561578fa3ece1680ef69a2b8b484c660ca3d0b17275df10c6ff2026f09fdc; exit status 0; unedited output below. |
| Submission state | complete-draft (validator PASS; manual research checks reported above; pending editorial exceptions listed in record.json). |
