# Research notes

Full method: exact project/contract identity refreshed through official GraphQL index, complete 4536-character script read and hashed, original Chrome renderers inspected at multiple moments, canonical token pages checked, current AB5D profile wallets compared with token owner. No direct chain/block pin. Full query and observations are in evidence.json.

Script coverage: complete palette/byte parameters; setup; dVT's two triangle branches and rotations; every draw background/light/material/rotation/translation/fill branch and wire pass; windowResized; sPFTD; mapd/mapParam. No external artwork asset loads, sound calls or pointer/key controls. Token hash's32bytes are parsed, first24 indexed in parameters. cF test byte<0 cannot pass, wf is unused. Geometry changes by frameCount, not elapsed seconds; no fixed repeat duration measured. No local modified script execution. Original hosted code executed in Chrome.

Sampling: verified #0,#1,#10,#20 plus freshly held#950. Not a statistically representative sample or rarity survey. At least two actual original screenshots each, across approximately22:18–22:21UTC September17. Different orientations/forms documented. Background tabs may throttle; not continuous measured observation. Audio not monitored. No artwork images downloaded or distributed.

Source inspection: official project; indexed project/script/tokens; Art Blocks July20 2021 interview with Jeff Davis; Right Click Save July25 2023 artist interview with Alex Estorick; CC BY-NC4 legalcode operative sections; p5@1.0.0 package manifest and LGPL2.1 preamble; AB5D current profile linked_accounts; five canonical token records plus live renderers. Source citations are materially tied to claims. Primary interview paraphrase kept below200words; later interview below200words. Local dossier bibliography used only for discovery.

Access gaps: remote ab5d artist dossier403 (local bibliography examined). Cent original interview URL returns titled shell without body; migrated full Art Blocks article successfully inspected. Instagram source failed web resolver; no posts claimed inspected. No historical price/allocations announcement located. No contemporaneous block-pinned metadata snapshot. Current price0.1ETH not labelled original mint price. Indexed first July20; activationJuly22; official releaseJuly23; #1-to#999 interval390seconds not established public sellout.

Rights: actual reported CC BY-NC4.0 label; index terms link null, official matching version legalcode read. Noncommercial reproduction/adaptation subject to attribution and other terms. No extra artist permission requirement invented. No separately explicit artist software licence found; public availability is not a software grant. p5 LGPL2.1 separate. No conflict found between project label and matching operative terms; scope over artist source not explicit.

Unresolved research questions:
- Which dated launch record establishes original mint price, allocation and opening time?
- Which performance studies became the exact crystal transform vocabulary?
- Did inaccessible palette and unused wire controls survive from earlier development versions?
- Was a distinct licence intended for artist source?

Operational: human review and final embedded-media QA remain coordinator work, not findings. Actual model gpt-6-astra. Per-essay token telemetry unavailable; all null for coordinator session-delta handling. Research began22:18UTC, package finished later same session; precise elapsed duration not measured. No git/build/shared edits.

Structural validation PASS: 1,908 words, 13 inspected sources, 5 verified/viewed examples, 3 pending exceptions. Finished 2026-09-17T22:22:27.171049+00:00.
