# Maps by john provencher: research in progress

Unpublished and not in dispatch at selection. Fresh indexed metadata, full 9141-byte script and token/ownership query preserved here. Entire minified script actually read in tool output. Script retained only in ignored research cache. Primary artist site https://a-map-is-a-score.com read using web open, 474 lines returned. Its text connects graphic scores (John Cage image), sprite sheets (Mario image), biomes and two-colour print possibilities. Artist site offers existing prints #0, #26 and #12 described as 18x24-inch two-colour screen prints on 100lb French Cover Pure White paper. Do not assert physically inspecting prints. Use <=200 words derived from this single site in essay; code and original analysis independent.

## Complete code reading

Plain browser JS, js@na, no p5 or other dependency identified. onload runs seeded dual-sfc32 Random warmed one million iterations. Many bounded parameter draws. Internal source field 180x240. Display dimensions fit portrait proportional field and padding to viewport. Hidden canvas/image staging, visible two SVG layers. Circle grid is either1x1 or1x2/2x3/3x4; gradient centres shifted by map across grid and axis choices. Each source disc has white-to-dark radial gradient, optional grey ground. It is NOT simply dithering an uploaded geographic map. Numeric dark/light field is generated internally.

Dither pass redistributes adjusted error with7/16 right,3/16 lower-left,5/16 below conditionally,1/16 lower-right conditionally. Error computation differs from textbook FS: S/255/C minus round(S/255). It retains sampled S in current pixel and adjusts future pixels in clamped image data, then categorises output bands. Do not say textbook black/white quantisation implementation. Two downstream routines sample grey ranges: first emits coloured circles (ellipse equal radii), second coloured rectangular cells with circular holes via masks. Different stride parameters produce scale relationships; selected layer order reverses in a branch. Palette base5 forest/ocean/earth/void/nether and accent5 scorching/green/floral/dune/metallic, special palette branches possible. HSL names are imaginative biomes not geographic data. Hash printed uppercase along bottom. Timer200ms stages processing after image construction; no repeating loop, audio, or inputhandlers. Timing dependency on image onload exists; no claim tested failure. SVG static after construction, not perpetual animation.

## Actual original inspection

All five original generator pages opened and screenshots read in own IAB1280x720, artwork portrait centered with blackoutside, pale border/hashfooter. Finished stills appeared without interaction. No audio claimed; no mechanism in code.
7: Green vertical bars on pale field; two large grey circular areas stacked. Upper disc fissured by strips of green/white and beadlike perforations, lower disc nearly solid grey with one slender white vertical break rightofcentre. Grey small discs make topborder beaded. Large masses appear behind or disrupting curtain of bars. Circleedges are scalloped because madefrommanyprimitives. Upper/lower difference despite sameinitialgrid basis demonstrates gradient/dither role. Hashfooter ties visiblepiece toinput.

Editorial review complete: full code, primary conception source, five actual originals and complete linked-wallet ownership checked. Structural validation PASS, 2213 words, nine sources, five examples, zero errors. Historical sale configuration and pinned-chain verification remain explicit limitations. No physical print inspection claimed; no token usage estimate. Record and Markdown prose generated from the same sections.
