  description: "Flat contour-bounded fields of deep teal separated by hard edges, with warm gold nuclei seated inside teal rings and thin vertical threads running between them. Fluid as an attentional agent: attention moving through fields that walls divide."
  visual_qualities: "flat, layered, contour-bounded, matte, nucleated, threaded, no glow spill"

  notes: "Tiers and quality follow conventions/asset-management.spw#optimization for the illustrations surface (256/512/1024 at q40/60/75). PNG is omitted deliberately: AVIF and WebP both have universal support in the browsers this site targets, and a PNG tier would outweigh every other variant combined. Master measured at 38dB PSNR against AVIF q70, which is visually transparent for painterly gradient work."

  notes: "Preferred render of the 2026-08-13 study. Closer to what arrival-electrostatics wants than the cauldron glow is: a bounded ring with a warm centre rather than a bloom, and walls that read as walls. Not yet placed on a surface."
