# Research notes

## Sources and access
Ten sources (S01-S10) inspected 2026-09-17T22:00Z to 23:02Z. All fetches succeeded. The Code + Matter biography (S04) was read in full text. The CC BY-NC 4.0 deed (S06) was read in full during the antennas-by-gcrll research in this batch. The registry lists no website and no artist interview for this project, so artist context comes from the independent biography (S04) and the AB5D dossier (S05, discovery aid). No dated 2021 source for the original mint price was found.

## Full script inspection
Script from projects_metadata.script via exact-slug query; 10,619 bytes; SHA-256 07de127b102c0b11f2167e1a2352fe3341d2ffcc31c0fecb42f793c5b5e4e0cc. Read in full (minified). Coverage: Alea PRNG seeded with tokenData.hash; 2D simplex noise; WebGL setup with ANGLE_instanced_arrays; 27 palettes packed as 12-bit RGB triplets (2 to 11 colors each), chosen by seed, index printed via console.log; spine of ~100 control points (ring or path mode) plus drift points; 2000 primary + 1000 secondary particle streams, 200 advection steps each under an inverse-square flow field; feature flags from the seeded stream (angular quantization to 8 or 12 directions, swirl, ring mode at >.95, dashed streams at 8%, dimmed at 6%, and others); no requestAnimationFrame, no event handlers, no audio. Script bytes retained only for hashing.

## Token identity and visual observation
All 350 token records pulled (query in research/fetch_tokens.py). Five static previews downloaded and viewed. Live renderer for 68000086 executed in headless Chrome (SwiftShader WebGL): 900x900 canvas, console log '12' (palette index), screenshot matches the media-proxy preview's formation; no change over time. Sampling rationale: editions 0 and 1 (first and first-public mints), 10 (geometric mode), 20 (dense crimson mode), 86 (AB5D-held header).

## Header ownership and media
AB5D linked wallets observed 2026-09-17 (see antennas notes for method). Owner scan of all 350 tokens found edition 86 held by 0xdd19308a9731cdecb67e0d80ca6823394208c045. Selected as header; media and live view URLs in presentation.json.

## Mint chronology and calculations
First mint 2021-05-26T04:28:08Z. Activation 2021-05-30T22:50:07Z. Public opening 2021-05-31T02:51:52Z (start_datetime = second mint = collection page release line). Completion 2021-05-31T04:46:30Z. Duration: 01:54:38. Chronology internally consistent; no anomalies.

## 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). No runtime library declared (js@na), so no third-party dependency licences. No conflicts found.

## Unresolved questions and exceptions
EX-01 original mint price unverified (pending). EX-02 no Messengers-specific artist statement located (pending). Palette origins and canonical trait names unverified (noted in essay).

## 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 30 minutes within the batch session. Token telemetry unavailable; usage.json fields null.
