# Dear Hash, research in progress

Read the complete 4,688-character indexed artist script. Four preselected token records (0,1,10,20) have been retrieved; their images have not yet been inspected.

The hash is split into32 byte pairs. The final byte maps by rounding to2x2,4x4,or8x8grid; penultimatebyte selects an abbreviated sequence in the4x4case. 2x2displays0x,two omissions,andfinalbyte.8x8displays0x,individualcharacters exceptfinalpair,thenfinalpair. A custombitwise seededgenerator controls pointlocations,colours and shapes. Seedparsedfromfirst16hashcharactersincluding0x.
