Run record — 2026-08-27
Visual difference from the previous Run
The 40–48 second survivor no longer expands as a generic radial lobe. It now unfolds five paired membranes from a curved spine, alternating inherited light and black tissue. Gold ribs and a low-frequency core pulse connect the anatomy, while the viewer's final dusk-boundary position biases its asymmetry. A first version rendered too much like a propeller and was rejected after the PC browser frame; the adopted version is smaller, translucent, noisy at the edge and embedded in the parents' material field.
Browser verification
- PC: actual-time pass reached
00:48,WHAT REMAINS,finished: true; viewport and canvas were 1418 × 802. This pass exposed and rejected the oversized geometric version. - PC adopted shape: Chrome frame rendered at second 47, 1440 × 900 command window, and was visually accepted for organic scale and integration.
- SP-equivalent: actual-time pass reached
00:48,WHAT REMAINS,finished: true; Chrome's minimum headless viewport was 512 × 746 and canvas matched it. Final UI remained legible and the organism stayed centered without clipping. - JavaScript and browser-check syntax checks passed. Audio state reached ON, but listening quality remains unverified.
Current quality score
| Gate | Score | Remaining weakness |
|---|---|---|
| Story | 3 | Third-party interpretation not observed |
| Art Direction | 4 | Adopted final organism now has a consistent material language |
| Motion Direction | 3 | Early 0–20 second movement remains mostly drift/deformation |
| Interaction | 3 | Boundary position now affects inheritance, but consequence needs clearer preview |
| Sound | 2 | Event synchronization exists; authored soundscape and human listening QA are absent |
| Engineering | 4 | PC and SP-equivalent 48-second passes complete with matching canvas sizes |
| Emotional residue | 3 | Final image improved; first-viewer emotional language is unobserved |
No publication request. The studio is past the Day 7 external-signal target without a third-party observation. Recovery is to stop adding final-shot detail and next improve the interaction consequence plus sound, then request a tightly scoped five-viewer test once the internal gate reaches 4.
Interaction and sound pass
The dusk gesture now records two distinct values during seconds 20–28: hold quality and boundary position. Hold quality controls the survivor's scale and gold pulse; boundary position becomes its inherited asymmetry. A real-time Chrome pass dispatched a centered hold at second 21 and completed at 00:48 with holdMemory: 1, inheritance: 0, soundOn: true, and matching 1418 × 802 viewport/canvas. The no-input fallback remains 0.48 so passive viewing still produces a complete work.
The sound engine now moves through seven authored states instead of a constant drone: chapter-specific low-pass targets, three-voice balance, beat intervals and pitches, with separate birth and rupture transients. This raises Interaction to 4 provisionally and Sound to 3; Sound remains below the public gate until a human listening pass confirms balance, distortion and emotional timing.
