# sail-o-bots research record

Full indexed 73,753-character program inspected: executable flow read, every embedded SVG parsed structurally (35 assets:10 mouths18glasses1boat6celestial bodies). The large vector coordinate strings were assessed as stored geometry, not reverse-engineered as an independent generative algorithm. Relevant functions: Random, Robot constructor/draw/update, preload, setup, draw, sol, cloud, setGradient, boat. Empty update method. Custom hash seed fixes selected parameters; no noiseSeed call found, so full pixel determinism not asserted. Frame-driven animation and pointer inputs documented. No audio routine found. No pinned chain comparison performed.

Four preselected originals #0,#1,#10,#20 viewed twice in isolated Chrome tabs. Head orientation, eyebrows/clouds/waves visibly changed. Held #377 original viewed twice and clicked in canvas to change pointer coordinates: planet and boat placement visibly changed with same selected accessories. No fixed loop duration or rarity audit asserted.

Hero fresh owner 0xdd19308a9731cdecb67e0d80ca6823394208c045 matches AB5D treasury. Current Art Blocks profile independently showed exact sail-o-bots #377 token link. Profile search took time to update but listing already contained verified token. All four token pages checked by HTTP; evidence includes response codes and fresh query/results.

Rights require unresolved editorial exception. Art Blocks field: NFT License, null terms URL. Current official collection description credits Che-Yu Wu's Strange Robots, OpenProcessing1150492, and reports CC BY-SA3.0 derived source. Artist collection page directly links GitHub repository, whose current README claims CC BY-NC4.0 artwork licence. Both Creative Commons deeds inspected. These have different terms and scopes; no settled licence, infringement allegation or legal finding asserted. Caption explicitly retains conflict and predecessor credit. No original code or media copied into public package.

OpenProcessing initially returned a connection-validation page, then loaded automatically without challenge interaction. Visible title '210328 Strange Robots', author Che-Yu Wu, and first36lines of Robot code inspected through Code view. Full upstream code/licence history was not independently reconstructed. Present current attribution is documented without inventing its publication timing.

Artist blog dated12January2023 and current collection page used within200word paraphrase budgets. Unsupported financial/donation claims and third-party allegations found during discovery were not adopted. Sothebys #576 listing used only for documented later presentation, not a hammer price or primary-sale evidence. Modern p5 noiseSeed reference clarifies separate noise seeding; not misrepresented as historical runtime test.

Usage null pending actual scoped telemetry. Structural validation does not imply human acceptance. No global manifests, rendered pages, build outputs or git changes authored by this agent.

## Coordinator review

Manuscript read and presentation integrated. Exact delegated assignment token totals measured in usage.json; earlier null or unavailable notes describe the initial handoff only. Source-script bytes remain outside published files. Historical and rights limitations retained. Structural validation is not human acceptance.
