# Sigils research record

Research date 2026-09-18. GPT-6 Astra, OpenAI Codex. Draft for human review. Isolated token/elapsed telemetry unavailable; no estimate recorded.

## Full-script findings

3908 characters. SHA-256 40cecbb4554fce586577a2e111b18d8d92566a5cff56ae0d85043f51b921c47c. Original indexed bytes retained only in ignored cache. No local execution; original renderer visited in browser. Exact queries in evidence. p5.js 1.0.0, WebGL. Full functions iDim, chlGen, setup (vertex+fragment shader), draw, chkLar, togLp read. Hash bytes directly mapped, no PRNG. Byte0 selects5–12 pairs and also first amplitude; amplitudes[-.8,.8], k[1,13], overlapping adjacent bytes. Twelve shader terms including initiallyzero slots, pointer offsets applied to all. Sum a*cos(pi/2*x*k)*cos(pi/2*y*k); abs(sum)<.1. Same k both axes produces reflection/exchange symmetry.36subsamples. Eight colour pairs chosen by byte29. No sound/timevariable. Pixel density<=2, <=1above2000; buffer<=4000; loophelper stopsabove2400. Click original-state setsmouse0 but mapped yoffsetnot0. Borders drawnlast. No external assets in artistcode. Library/tokeninput separate dependencies.

## Sources and gaps

Read the official project statement, fresh GraphQL record, Creative Commons deed and legal code, tagged p5.js licence, and The Sphere collaborator biography. No substantive dated development account was recovered. The indexed website and interview fields are null. The dossier bibliography was used for discovery only. Unrelated Chladni artists returned by web search were not treated as influences. Historical licence changes remain unverified.

First mint on June 15, activation on June 16, release on June 19 and completion on June 27 describe different events. The current 0.1 ETH setting is not launch-price proof. The current 133 maximum is not original-maximum proof. No sellout duration was calculated.

## Visual inspection

Four verified early editions, 0, 1, 10 and 20, were visited separately at their original generator URLs. Initial and changed states were inspected through screenshots. Clicks at two positions inside the canvas invoked visible geometry changes in all four. Edition 0 was also tested by dragging; that first screenshot was unchanged, while subsequent clicks confirmed change. No precise pointer trajectory or autonomous animation is claimed. Descriptions are retained in evidence and examples. The held edition 56 was separately visited and showed a changed state. No listening claim is made. Touch interaction was not tested. Desktop screenshots showed a roughly 756-pixel square artwork within a 1689 by 796 viewport. No screenshots are redistributed. All four canonical token pages returned HTTP 200.

The fresh AB5D profile linked_accounts list contained 0xdd19308a9731cdecb67e0d80ca6823394208c045, 0xce6dc14c5494d8a4325a81d3b257d130fa2039d1 and 0x2247247ee0eee59557e6cd14f7e047f6a9309b5c. The fresh owner of token 93000056 was the first address. This is a positive holding match, not an inferred collection gap.

The header recommendation is the interactive original renderer with preview fallback. Caption title, edition, artist and CC BY-NC 4.0 link are supplied. The coordinator must test the actual embed; this package claims original-renderer observation only.

## Pending integration

Review technical and rights claims, attach actual measured usage with its correct scope if available, and render/check desktop and mobile before publication. Structural validation does not grant acceptance. Changes are limited to the assigned package and research note; no shared manifest or queue changes.
