# Rinascita research notes

Draft for human editorial review. Research began with fresh index retrieval at 2026-09-17T22:31:52.795222+00:00 and package preparation reached 2026-09-17T22:37:25.615434+00:00. Exact tool-duration accounting is unavailable; these timestamps bound the documented work, not uninterrupted CPU time. Actual model: gpt-6-astra. Usage counters remain null for coordinator measurement.

## Method and identity

Exact slug, contract and project 121 checked against individual handoff. Atlas position 122 is not the project ID. Official metadata, complete 1111-token chronology and five token records retrieved by GraphQL. Exact queries and observations are in evidence.json; raw indexed script is retained only in sibling rinascita-research.md. Canonical pages returned HTTP 200. No local rendering reconstruction or shared files were modified.

## Full script

Read all 3226 UTF-8 bytes. SHA-256 01cf21d8cad04bd969d22568445910787a48118ea072047fca490931af08ce57. Coverage includes random helper m, cached Gaussian H, mapping U, luminosity/contrast and colour helpers j, palette table, full setup and draw, and class A constructor/U/P/D. Four-integer xorshift state uses initial hash portions; noise seeded separately. Portrait 0.8 canvas, variable grid/padding, Gaussian offsets, translated straight-segment brushes, interpolated square stamps, Multiply/Overlay/Blend passes, optional colour drift, constrained movement, background line texture and finite noLoop budget. No audio, input handlers or external media requests in artist program. Indexed retrieval is not a block-pinned chain extraction.

## Visual inspection

Five isolated Chrome original renderer tabs, editions 0, 1, 10, 20 and 955. All five screenshots viewed at 22:34:38.336Z on September 17. Held 955 additionally viewed at 22:34:12.804Z, 22:35:01.411Z and 22:35:16.885Z. Clear accumulation from sparse traces to coloured blocks. Later observation still added marks; do not claim a measured completion duration. Code establishes finite drawing. No listening test. Sample selected for early comparison plus actual holding, not random prevalence or rarity.

- #0: Deep blue ground; cream, yellow, red and cyan rectangles, black bands and fine horizontal stripes in an irregular woven field.

- #1: Light ground; dense overlapping red, black, navy, yellow and turquoise ribbon or pennant forms with exposed curved parallel strands.

- #10: Pale ground; open lavender, yellow, salmon, green and navy ribbons, separated upper and lower clusters and broad gaps.

- #20: Pale ground; compact mosaic of green, blue, red and dark blocks with vertical comb-like lines and irregular white passages.

- #955: Pale ground; sparse vertical traces visibly accumulated into green, blue, orange, red and black blocks with horizontal bands.

## Development and historical distinctions

Artist Rinascita and Essenza pages explain Rinascita's emergence during the older Essenza development, despite Essenza's 2022 release. Current retrospective pages are not dated original notebooks. November 12 2021 interview supplies contemporaneous practice context. Its Dominican-family journey refers to Sentimenti, not Rinascita; Frammenti's click interaction is not transferred to this work.

First mint July 30 2021 13:21:45 UTC, activation August 1 01:56:05 UTC, official release August 1. One token July 30 and 1110 on August 1. Edition one 19:00:38 to last 19:10:17 = 579 seconds. Not an advertised public-opening interval. First sampled public-era transaction value 1.110000000000000128 ETH includes 128 wei returned to sender; net distributed 1.11 ETH. Final transaction 1.11 ETH. Both single-token mints; fees separate. No claim all purchases identical. Original cap and allocations unresolved.

## Rights and header

Exact CC BY-NC 4.0 label freshly indexed. Empty link field retained but exact-version legal code inspected. Noncommercial sharing/adaptation requires attribution, notices and modification marking where applicable. Code has no separate software licence notice; p5 1.0.0 LGPL 2.1 is separate. Fresh complete three-wallet profile matches 955's indexed owner. Original live renderer is proposed for autoplay finite drawing without forced loop; integration has not been tested. Static URL supplied as metadata fallback, not falsely claimed visually inspected. CC0 applies only to original essay prose.

## Failed and unused leads

https://stefanocontiero.com/h failed through web safety/access path and was not used as content. Current artist pages were successfully read. The linked Cent interview https://beta.cent.co/artblocks/%2B9plrtj returned no readable body and is not cited. Guessed p5 v1.0.0 tag paths returned 404; actual 1.0.0/license.txt was read. Verse and artist About were inspected as discovery leads but not needed for cited claims. Search did not recover an original scheduled-launch announcement; secondary market pages were not substituted for original mint price.

## Unresolved editorial questions

- Original announced opening, allocations and cap history.
- Complete pricing policy beyond sampled endpoint transactions.
- Dated prototypes locating exact Rinascita/Essenza divergence.
- Separate artist program reuse permission.
- Coordinator measured token usage and final display integration review.

All exceptions remain pending, not accepted. Structural validator is not editorial acceptance.

## Final observation

Held original viewed again at 2026-09-17T22:37:30.173Z, unchanged from 22:35:16.885Z across 133.288 seconds. This supports finite settling but does not time the exact completion instant. Validator passed: 1923 words by canonical counter, 15 sources, 5 examples, 3 pending editorial exceptions.
