# Research notes

## Sources and access
Ten sources (S01-S10) inspected 2026-09-18T05:35Z to 06:30Z. All fetches succeeded. The artist's project page (S10) was read in full text and is the primary conception document. The CC BY-NC 4.0 deed (S07) was fetched and read for this package. No dated 2021 source for the original mint price was found. No Swing-specific artist interview was located; the registry interview field is null.

## Full script inspection
Script from projects_metadata.script via exact-slug query; 12,677 bytes; SHA-256 61442c6ffc5fe942606f758ed6e13ee03ce1d9a0a1eb78d4411263a6820c9270 (recomputed locally, matches). Read in full. Coverage: seed = parseInt(tokenData.hash.slice(0,16),16) with random_hash() fallback; Random class; load_textarea1 (51 weighted color entries, format '#hex*weight**category*Name*', categories F/M/P, weights 1-16) and load_textarea2 (weighted line shapes, 7 drawn and scrambled); setTraits calls (Paper Corners Square on roll >45 of 100 else Round; Lines White >95, Green >97, else Dark Blue); margin/paper/background/lines layered drawing; background 3 rows or 2 columns with solid or 3 stripe variants; P2D renderer; offscreen pg buffer at print resolution; noLoop() in setup; no interaction handlers; no audio code (grep zero hits). Script bytes retained only for hashing.

## Token identity and visual observation
All 310 token records pulled (query in research3/fetch_tokens.py). Five static previews downloaded and viewed (V01-V05). Live renderer for 184000240 executed in headless Chrome (V06): hash matched chain; frameCount 1 at two reads 4s apart; zero audio elements. Sampling rationale: editions 0 and 1 (first mints, dense and striped poles), 10 (rare green Lines trait), 20 (rounded corners, two-column background), 240 (AB5D-held header). Trait attributions are visual readings consistent with the script's percentage logic, not recomputed from hashes.

## Header ownership and media
AB5D linked wallets refreshed 2026-09-18T05:35:51Z via user_profiles GraphQL query (three addresses, recorded in S05). Owner scan of all 310 tokens found edition 240 held by 0xdd19308a9731cdecb67e0d80ca6823394208c045, matching the spec's historical candidate. Selected as header; media URL in presentation.json.

## Mint chronology and calculations
First mint 2021-10-21T07:10:41Z (edition 0, 11 days pre-activation). Activation 2021-11-01T18:30:38Z. Registry start_datetime 2021-11-02T16:00:00Z (= collection page release line); second mint 16:27:10Z. Monthly histogram from token records: 2021-10 1, 2021-11 171, 2021-12 16, 2022-01 6, 2022-02 7, 2022-03 5, 2022-05 5, 2022-06 2, 2022-07 35, 2022-08 5, 2022-09 3, 2022-10 2, 2022-11 5, 2022-12 15, 2024-02 32. Completion 2024-02-05T23:02:35Z. First-to-last span about 2 years 3.5 months (27+ months). Project reported complete=true, locked=true, paused=false, active=true.

## Rights and conflicts
Artwork label 'CC BY-NC 4.0' (registry, link_to_license null) corroborated by the artist's project page ('sold under non commercial license: CC BY-NC 4.0'); category creative-commons; deed terms summarized from the fetched deed. Code licence: none found in script; recorded as unknown. p5.js dependency licence not re-verified. No conflicts found.

## Unresolved questions and exceptions
EX-01 original mint price unverified (pending). EX-02 no Swing-specific interview (pending). EX-03 cause of the Feb 2024 final mint-out undocumented (pending). Trait attributions visual, not recomputed (noted in essay).

## 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, web search/fetch. Elapsed for this package: roughly 30 minutes within the batch session. Token telemetry unavailable; usage.json fields null except timestamps.

## Checks report

| Check | Report |
| --- | --- |
| Identity and package | Slug swing-by-eltono; chain 1; contract and project ID match the supplied roster and fresh registry record; all seven files present. |
| Structure and citations | 2097 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/swing-by-eltono` run from the extracted pack root at 2026-09-18T07:53:10Z; validator file scripts/validate_series_essays.py SHA-256 3b6273b6edaa9eee0f7641f365d4d243f15977e0acdd85bac922a40f157472ca; exit status 0; unedited output below. |
| Submission state | complete-draft (validator PASS; manual research checks reported above; pending editorial exceptions listed in record.json). |
