structure
v5 — Navigation simplified
Autopsies and Experiments removed from primary nav. Both now exist as type labels inside Logs. Videos and About added. Homepage reduced to hero, recent logs, fragments, and hidden world close.
structure
v4 — Final polish pass
Inline styles consolidated into site.css. Media slot system added across all pages. Hidden access mechanism refined — less announced, more discovered.
structure
v2 / v3 — Successive rebuilds
v1 rebuilt to v2. Logs section created. Workflows removed. Analytics removed from primary nav. Hidden subsystem introduced in v3. Topology seam model introduced in v4.
evidence
Case note #006 completed
Close read of the 23% attention record. Root cause: setup did not carry the momentum established by the opening. Hypothesis filed as EXP-007.
evidence
EXP-007 started
Visual disruption vs clean opening. Day 8: disruption variant holds a 22-point gap. Remains open.
evidence
EXP-005 concluded
One contact window dominant. One remained quiet at this scale. Timing now a controlled variable.
removal
Analytics removed from primary navigation
Metrics were becoming too central to the presentation. Performance data preserved but relocated. The site leads with the work, not the dashboard.
removal
Simulated live counter removed
v1 included JS that randomly incremented metric displays. Simulated liveness is a form of dishonesty.
note
v1.0 launched
High-neon aesthetic. Creator-adjacent writing. Inconsistent tone. Sufficient for a first version.
note
Project initiated
Decision made to keep a public creative archive: field notes, image records, essays, experiments, and the occasional strange thing worth leaving unresolved.
