Documents

Readme/docsThe repository readme.

The brand/docs/brandThe identity canon: the name, the idea, the character and voice, the mark, color, type, language as material, and the Dossier as the completed reference.

The design system/docs/designThe canon: the four-color system, the line law, rails and seams, the doubled line, iso, the 1-bit language, moving type, motion discipline.

Architecture/docs/architectureThe code map: the direction registry, the toolchain SSOT and fork rescoping, the componentized instruments, the mirror.

The ship loop/docs/ship-loopThe verify-and-ship procedure every round runs: the line audit, the practices ratchet, types, filming, the backup branch, the mirror build.

The libraries/docs/librariesThe index of the componentized instruments. The living version, with plates running, is the build log under the readme.

Sites

Dossier/directions/singularity-dossierThe completed direction: a full site whose home folds the every-stack argument into the hero terminal (one less section), over an /enterprise page that reads as an evidence file, with exhibits, a certificate wall, and an audit ledger under the gate.

Dossier enterprise/d/singularity-dossier/enterpriseThe enterprise page of Dossier.

Orbit/directions/singularity-orbitA showcase of the previous generation: orbit keeps its one-line hero and carries the system pieces the dossier retired, the windowed translation demo, the toolchain bento, the gravity well and instrument dials, the dark band, and the pricing file.

Orbit enterprise/d/singularity-orbit/enterpriseThe enterprise page of Orbit.

Signal/directions/singularity-signalA showcase of the previous generation: signal keeps its split-pane hero and carries the sections the dossier retired, the pinned story cinema, the review workspace, the assurance strip, and the self-typing transmission log.

Signal enterprise/d/singularity-signal/enterpriseThe enterprise page of Signal.

Explorations

Toolchain/directions/toolchainThe minimalist evolution of the current site: one ruled column, bento rows whose shells never repeat, and a family of isometric line-art diagrams.

Chroma Flow/directions/chroma-flowA curl-noise flow field pulls streaming color through the nameplate, and the product story reads as one continuous pipeline beneath it.

Dither Field/directions/dither-fieldHellos in eight scripts resolve out of Bayer noise and dissolve back, pixel by pixel, above data-led product rows.

Aurora Paper/directions/aurora-paperA grainy aurora drifts behind an otherwise disciplined paper page, and the product story is told as one working workspace.

Glyph Rain/directions/glyph-rainA particle rain of world-script glyphs gathers into each word of the headline, holds, and re-scatters, above script-led product sections.

Prism Light/directions/prism-lightOne white beam splits through a glass prism and the translations ride the dispersion fan out, above delivery-led sections.

Lens Gate/directions/lens-gateThe ruled paper itself passes through one breathing glass — components enter in English, refract, and exit translated on the far side.

Paper Foundry/directions/paper-foundryThe bento machined into paper — hairline cells set into a brushed-graphite sheet, finished in strict reading order.

Terminus Board/directions/terminus-boardA departure hall for locales — a split-flap headline over a flip-wave cell grid that lists languages the way a terminus lists trains.

Wide Rule/directions/wide-ruleOne analytic interference band crosses enormous quiet space, and the whole product story is set in the calm around it.

Event Horizon/directions/event-horizonComponent walls dive with curved perspective into a black-hole gate — English falls in, translations emerge, and flags orbit the horizon.

Hourglass/directions/hourglassDark corridor walls of UI cards sweep concavely into a vanishing point, pinching at an hourglass waist that holds the mark, the flags, and the CTAs.

Singularity/directions/singularityThe enterprise gate: the lensing horizon alone on open paper, customers riding the locale belt, and a contact bay beneath it where glyphs rain through the dark.
