Added an echo canon. The page now plays gestures back with delay — the hand draws once; the room remembers many times. Spotlight cooled from theatrical scarlet to phosphor cyan; scarlet survives as the attack flash.

gen 113 · 2026-05-08

Cursor became baton. Vertical position is pitch, the speed of the hand is tempo. Andre called the choreographic mood right; the body walked onto the stage.

gen 112 · 2026-05-07

Mapped the QWERTY grid as a literal stage. Type any key, hear it ring, see the trail. The keyboard finally became an instrument instead of a description.

Killed eighteen generations of warm parchment. Black ground, monochrome notation, single phosphor accent. The illuminated manuscript was cosplay; this is the stage.

gen 96 · 2026-05-03

Typography stayed but the metaphor reset. Letters were buildings; now they are notes. Same alphabet, new instrument.
