# Research notes

## Sources and access
Eleven sources (S01-S11) inspected 2026-09-20T00:21Z to 14:38Z. The registry description (S01) carries Legowelt's own account of the music system (3 channels, 180 patterns, C# Dorian, infinite remix). The Jeff Davis interview (S07) is blocked to scripted access on live Medium (HTTP 403 Cloudflare) and was read via its Internet Archive capture (EX-03). The Rozendaal dossier (S06) supplies the seven-project context and rank 9 of 308. newrafael.com (S11) loads as a navigation shell. The CC BY-NC-ND deed (S08) was re-read from the batch cache.

## Full script inspection
Script from projects_metadata.script via exact-slug query; 29,006 bytes; SHA-256 b67c65d809e4e9e22876725d4961f39740fcb54468eb3d141a992e9f02760744 (recomputed locally, matches). Read in full (minified bundle; build stamp 20220801.210420). Coverage: xorshift-family PRNG seeded from four 8-hex-char hash slices, instantiated twice; Tone.Transport/Part/Synth wiring; embedded C# Dorian pattern data (not transcribed, EX-04); single touchend-or-click audio activation listener; canvas animation loop; zero audio/video elements. Registry script_count 4 unresolved (EX-02). Script bytes retained only for hashing.

## Token identity and visual observation
All 400 token records pulled (query in research4/fetch_tokens.py). Five static previews downloaded and viewed (V01-V05), spanning grayscale, loud-multicolor, red-spiral, cyan-green and dense-teal modes. Live renderer for 336000009 executed in headless Chrome with autoplay policy disabled (V06): hash matched chain exactly; visuals animate continuously; Tone.Transport started after click at 35 BPM; audio not auditioned by ear (EX-05).

## 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 400 tokens found exactly one edition held: number 9, owned by 0xdd19308a9731cdecb67e0d80ca6823394208c045, minted 2022-08-24T17:48:03Z. Edition 9 selected as header as the sole AB5D holding. Media URL in presentation.json.

## Mint chronology and calculations
First mint 2022-07-26T23:57:45Z (edition 0). Edition 1 minted 2022-08-03T15:40:01Z, three weeks before the announced start. Activation 2022-08-17T22:31:33Z. Registry start_datetime 2022-08-24T17:00:00Z (= collection page release line). Editions 9 and 10 at 17:48:03Z; edition 20 at 17:49:35Z; final edition 399 at 17:53:43Z; about 54 minutes total. Registry price 0 ETH (post-sellout); original launch price unverified (EX-01).

## Rights and conflicts
Artwork label 'CC BY-NC-ND 4.0' (registry, with link_to_license); category creative-commons; deed terms summarized from the cached deed (Share; Attribution, NonCommercial, NoDerivatives; no additional restrictions); ND condition noted as covering both visual and musical composition. Code licence: none found in script; recorded as unknown. Sole runtime dependency Tone.js 14.8.15 (parts inlined); zero external assets. No conflicts found.

## Unresolved questions and exceptions
EX-01 original mint price unverified (pending). EX-02 script_count 4 semantics (pending). EX-03 Medium interview read via archive only (pending). EX-04 pattern pool not transcribed (pending). EX-05 audio not auditioned by ear (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, Wayback Machine, web search/fetch. Elapsed for this package: roughly 20 minutes within the batch session. Token telemetry unavailable; usage.json fields null except timestamps.

## Checks report

| Check | Report |
| --- | --- |
| Identity and package | Slug polychrome-music-by-rafael-rozendaal-and-danny-wolfers-legowelt; chain 1; contract and project ID match the supplied roster and fresh registry record; all seven files present. |
| Structure and citations | 1725 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/polychrome-music-by-rafael-rozendaal-and-danny-wolfers-legowelt` run from the extracted pack root at 2026-09-20T05:19:43Z; 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). |
