# Research notes

## Sources and access
Eleven sources recorded in sources.json (S01-S11), all inspected between 2026-09-17T22:00Z and 22:09Z. The Art Blocks Hasura endpoint answered all project and token queries. The official collection page, Bright Moments interview, MUTEK biography, AB5D dossier, CC BY-NC 4.0 deed and AB5D profile page were fetched and read. The artist's Instagram (instagram.com/gcrll/) and X (x.com/gcorallo) profiles returned HTTP 200 but only as JavaScript application shells behind login walls; their content was not extractable and they are NOT cited as sources. A Wayback Machine snapshot of artblocks.io/project/70 (2021-05-28) was retrieved but contained only the JavaScript app shell (5,308 bytes, no project data), so it could not evidence launch pricing. No archived api.artblocks.io snapshots exist for project 70.

## Full script inspection
Script retrieved from projects_metadata.script via the exact-slug query recorded in evidence.json; 3,987 bytes; SHA-256 0e2c7a77be529677aad16db7d40959ad4e9c75ff930c8fa290ad83b782edf13e. Read in full. Coverage: seed derivation (first 16 hex chars of tokenData.hash), xorshift PRNG (rnd_dec), palette and background selection, invert flag (~20%), LayerSys (4-10 layers, nRad 10-30, inner/outer wave frequencies 2-12), eight Layer drawing modes (0-7), six global rotation modes (rM 0-5), 240-frame loop at 30 fps, WEBGL renderer, stroke blending toward background. No input handlers, no audio calls. Script bytes retained locally only for hashing; not redistributed.

## Token identity and visual observation
All 250 token records pulled from tokens_metadata (query in research/fetch_tokens.py). Static previews for tokens 70000000, 70000001, 70000010, 70000020, 70000027 downloaded (media-proxy 301 redirect followed) and viewed. Live renderer for 70000027 executed in headless Chrome with SwiftShader at three virtual-time budgets; motion confirmed continuous and loop-like. Sampling rationale: edition 0 (first mint), edition 1 (first public mint), editions 10 and 20 (contrasting parameter draws), edition 27 (AB5D-held header).

## Header ownership and media
AB5D linked wallets from the profile page embedded data: 0xdd19308a9731cdecb67e0d80ca6823394208c045, 0xce6dc14c5494d8a4325a81d3b257d130fa2039d1, 0x2247247ee0eee59557e6cd14f7e047f6a9309b5c (observed 2026-09-17). Owner scan of all 250 tokens found editions 27, 55, 74 and 158 held by the first wallet. Edition 27 selected as header; media URL and live view URL recorded in presentation.json.

## Mint chronology and calculations
First mint 2021-05-24T18:24:30Z (token 0, pre-activation). Activation 2021-05-27T20:45:05Z. Public opening 2021-06-01T21:03:46Z (start_datetime = second token mint = collection page 'Released Jun 1, 2021, 9:03 PM UTC'). Completion 2021-07-03T14:17:22Z. Sale duration: 2021-06-01T21:03:46Z to 2021-07-03T14:17:22Z = 31 days 17:13:36. No sellout-minutes claim made.

## Rights and conflicts
Artwork label 'CC BY-NC 4.0' (registry, link_to_license null); category creative-commons; terms from the CC deed. Code licence unknown (no header). p5.js dependency licence not re-verified. No conflicts found.

## Unresolved questions and exceptions
EX-01 original mint price unverified (pending). EX-02 Instagram announcement uninspectable (pending). Minter identity of edition 0 unconfirmed.

## Actual model, tools, elapsed time and measured usage
Model: Kimi (Moonshot AI), version not exposed by runtime. Tools: curl, Python 3, headless Chrome (SwiftShader), Art Blocks GraphQL, web search/fetch. Elapsed for this package: roughly 25 minutes within the batch session starting 2026-09-17T21:59:50Z. Token telemetry unavailable; usage.json fields null.


## Coordinator code review
Complete3987byte script independently retrieved, digest matched and fully read. Modes0-3 use oscillatory240frameperiod; modes4-5 add linear z rotation scaled byPI/10 and do not establish a universal8secondfull loop. The original draft overstated storage and public-sale chronology; working-copy corrections recorded. Independent visual/source checks remain pending.


## Independent source review, 18 September 2026
GPT-6 Astra read the complete Bright Moments interview and MUTEK biography. Removed circular biographical support and distinguished later practice testimony from Antennas development evidence. Five outputs are described, not four. Runtime and image review remains outstanding; this is not acceptance.


## Independent visual review
All five official previews inspected in the in-app browser. Rewrote close readings to reflect observable marks and correct pink/white distinction in #27. Original #27 failed with WebGL context creation error at 2026-09-18T00:44:26.485Z. Contributor motion evidence remains explicitly attributed, not independently confirmed. No browser security or GPU settings changed.
