# Research notes

## Sources and access
Twelve sources (S01-S12) inspected 2026-09-17T22:00Z to 22:44Z. All fetches succeeded except the registry-linked artist interview at beta.cent.co/artblocks/+59s9p0, which serves only a JavaScript shell (7,376 bytes, no content); a Wayback capture was checked in an earlier batch session and likewise contains only the shell, so the interview is recorded as an uninspectable lead, not a source. The iillucid interview (S04) and the Gorilla Sun article (S05) were read in full text. The CC BY-NC 4.0 deed (S07) was read in full during the antennas-by-gcrll research in this batch. No dated 2021 source for the original mint price was found.

## Full script inspection
Script from projects_metadata.script via exact-slug query; 15,513 bytes; SHA-256 80eb116fec4d68611b91fa7873101c1d1184537cbc01475b2fc126cbf9cdedb4. Read in full (minified single line). Coverage: seed = parseInt(hash.slice(0,16),16); five-row hexagon grid with per-row counts picked from [1,2,3]/[3,4]/[2,3,4]/[3,4]/[2,3]; three offscreen graphics buffers per cube; shear-clipped isometric faces; panel types thing0-thing17 with thing13 absent (17 types); exactly one thing14 letter panel appended then list shuffled, letter = pick('ARTBLOCKS'.split('')); panels animated via frameCount with per-panel speed; mouseClicked toggles noLoop/loop; keyPressed maps 83 (s) to saveCanvas(tokenData.hash,'png') and keys 1-9 to pixelDensity. No audio code. Script bytes retained only for hashing.

## Token identity and visual observation
All 500 token records pulled (query in research/fetch_tokens.py). Five static previews downloaded and viewed. Live renderer for 74000000 executed in headless Chrome via puppeteer-core: in-page frameCount reads showed continuous animation (151 to 215 in 3s), a simulated mouse click froze the loop (217, unchanged after 3s), and a second click resumed it (299). Sampling rationale: editions 0 and 1 (first and first-public mints), 10 (palette inversion), 20 (widest panel spread), 319 (AB5D-held header).

## Header ownership and media
AB5D linked wallets observed 2026-09-17 (see antennas notes for method). Owner scan of all 500 tokens found edition 319 held by 0xdd19308a9731cdecb67e0d80ca6823394208c045. Selected as header; media and live view URLs in presentation.json.

## Mint chronology and calculations
First mint 2021-05-25T20:04:21Z. Activation 2021-05-27T16:48:03Z. Public opening 2021-05-28T16:00:49Z (start_datetime = second mint = collection page release line). Completion 2021-05-28T17:38:28Z. Duration: 01:37:39. First 20 editions minted within the first minute (16:00:49 to 16:01:39). Chronology internally consistent; no anomalies.

## Rights and conflicts
Artwork label 'CC BY-NC 4.0' (registry, link_to_license null); category creative-commons; terms from the CC deed. Code licence unknown (no header). p5.js dependency licence not re-verified. No conflicts found.

## Unresolved questions and exceptions
EX-01 original mint price unverified (pending). EX-02 cent.co artist interview unretrievable (pending). Per-letter edition counts across the 500 outputs not computed (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 35 minutes within the batch session. Token telemetry unavailable; usage.json fields null.

## Coordinator repair queue
Full script read found static panel routines and unseeded noise calls. Replace every-panel-animation and whole-frame determinism claims; add speckle overlay. Remove unsupported only-hash-on-chain statement. Distinguish recorded release from proven public opening and indexed mint interval from all-500 public sellout (edition0 predates it). Paraphrase the overlong interview quotations. Frame club benefits as historical, not presently verified. Remove speculative financial/legal biographical linkage and unsupported influence rankings. Independent originals and controls remain to inspect.


## Independent coordinator review
Five original renderers inspected in two changing states each. Edition 319 paused, remained unchanged across two observations, and resumed on a second click. Full indexed script read; panel count, static panels, seed extraction and unseeded noise corrected. Current ownership refreshed against the three linked AB5D wallets. Mint interval no longer described as public sellout. Historical club claims limited to dated evidence. Original price, inaccessible cent interview and pinned chain comparison remain explicit research questions.
