# Research notes

## Sources and access
Ten sources (S01-S10) inspected 2026-09-20T00:21Z to 15:02Z. The registry description (S01) supplies the investigator story and the controls. The artist's own page (S07) is unusually rich: algorithm walk-through, 22 hand-picked palettes, five unions, hidden feature, and the case-file context. The dossier (S06) supplies biography and the Hic Et Nunc click-to-regenerate lineage. No interview exists (EX-02). The CC BY-NC 4.0 deed (S08) was re-read from the batch cache.

## Full script inspection
Script from projects_metadata.script via exact-slug query; 14,735 bytes; SHA-256 51f8d35bf1f124a06b704dc6d9f17465bfdee3e9e54eb2d3e1ce21c2e31c5958 (recomputed locally, matches). Read in full (minified but feature-named). Coverage: xorshift-family PRNG from four 8-hex-char hash slices; calculateFeatures (palette; grid [2,3,4,5,6] weighted [.05,.5,1,1,.2]; shapes [min,mid,max] weighted [1,.5,.3]); palette table beginning #E26D02/#252926/#E5DDC1; keydown listener (Space toggles 200ms interval; digits set pixelDensity and regenerate; s saves PNG named by hash); click regenerates; no audio code. Registry script_count 2 unresolved (EX-03). Hidden feature not located (EX-04). Script bytes retained only for hashing.

## Token identity and visual observation
All 500 token records pulled (query in research4/fetch_tokens.py). Five static previews downloaded and viewed (V01-V05), spanning bold red/blue, yellow/navy, dense, sparse and outlined-pink modes. Live renderer for 339000227 executed in headless Chrome (V06): hash matched chain exactly; static when idle; click regenerates; Space toggles the auto cycle; 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 500 tokens found exactly one edition held: number 227, owned by 0xdd19308a9731cdecb67e0d80ca6823394208c045, minted 2022-08-01T17:15:19Z. Edition 227 selected as header as the sole AB5D holding. Media URL in presentation.json.

## Mint chronology and calculations
First mint 2022-07-28T07:44:11Z (edition 0). Activation 2022-07-29T00:06:03Z. Pre-sale mints on 2022-07-31 (editions 1, 10, 20). Registry start_datetime 2022-08-01T17:00:00Z (= collection page release line). Edition 227 at 17:15:19Z; final edition 499 at 17:16:07Z; public phase 16m07s. 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 4.0' (registry, with link_to_license); category creative-commons; deed terms summarized from the cached deed (Share and Adapt; Attribution, NonCommercial; no additional restrictions). Code licence: none found in script; recorded as unknown. Sole runtime dependency p5.js 1.0.0; zero external assets. No conflicts found. Case-file figures on the artist's site self-reported (EX-05).

## Unresolved questions and exceptions
EX-01 original mint price unverified (pending). EX-02 no interview (pending). EX-03 script_count 2 semantics (pending). EX-04 hidden feature unidentified (pending). EX-05 case-file figures uncorroborated (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 18 minutes within the batch session. Token telemetry unavailable; usage.json fields null except timestamps.

## Checks report

| Check | Report |
| --- | --- |
| Identity and package | Slug ieva-by-shvembldr; chain 1; contract and project ID match the supplied roster and fresh registry record; all seven files present. |
| Structure and citations | 1689 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/ieva-by-shvembldr` run from the extracted pack root at 2026-09-20T05:27:31Z; 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). |
