# Paper Armada research

Complete 12,539-character indexed script read. Native canvas 2D, seed from token hash and bitwise generator; weighted basis vectors and six layouts; Apparatus cell grid, neighbour continuation and symmetry; extraction of rectangles; rough-line steps and Bezier controls; layered shadows, borders, colour and shading. No animation loop or controls found. Static inspection is not independent execution or pinned-block verification.

Important distinctions: layout selection weights are not minted frequencies. Equal-row geometry still receives per-copy shading and rare colour substitutions. The composite-operation string normal may not be a valid Canvas setter value, so no special normal-mode semantics are asserted. The shade pass uses an unscaled padding subtraction where another pass scales it; no silent correction was made. Raw artist code remains in ignored cache and is not redistributed.

Primary collection page, artist Rough Apparatus Client page (dated 2019-03-31) and related repository package manifest inspected. The earlier sketch names apparatus-generator and WIP Graphite. Its repository manifest reports MIT, which is not treated as permission for the entire deployed artist script or artwork. Current artwork label NIFTY License has no terms URL; operative version remains unresolved.

Own built-in browser canonical renderers visually inspected for editions 0, 1, 10 and 20. All four are Trooper and do not demonstrate the other five layouts. #0 has a blue central panel, purple/turquoise/pink details and yellow ground; #1 has red/grey upper parts and a broad plum lower panel on yellow; #10 has grey/olive and ochre panels over pale ground, opposite tilt; #20 has cream upper and blue-grey lower regions over sand. All show cropped neighbours, white borders, black offset shadows and faint grids. Held #1610 also inspected: green/navy/red body over dark green ground.

Current index: first mint March 29, activation March 29, second/start March 31, completion June 24, 2021. Collection release March 31. Focused historical-price search recovered William M. Peaster's March 30 Metaversal report: 3000 intended works at 0.1 ETH excluding gas. Its sentence says tomorrow but also March 30; this inconsistency is explicitly preserved and not used to date launch. Price/edition now recorded as contemporary reported facts, not chain-replayed facts. Allocations, individual transaction payments and configuration history remain unresolved.
