Development Note 001

Keep the entrance

The starting frame matters. The original MHOO lettering, paper mascot, short purpose line, and legal links remain the entrance. The experimental renderer takes the lettering's existing point positions rather than fading to an unrelated scene.

The longer, eased scroll gives that transition time to breathe. Independent motion keeps the field alive after the camera stops.

Give the writing a source

The next step in the Particle CMS Experiment is a small publishing pipeline. Three Markdown documents now provide the source of truth. Their permanent identifiers determine stable coordinates in the field, independently of their titles or URL slugs.

A repeatable build validates metadata and connections, generates reading pages, and produces a graph. The graph records outgoing links, backlinks, and the reference used by the experiment document. Missing targets and duplicate identities stop the build.

Keep the reading ordinary

Motion is a way to arrive, not a requirement for reading. Every published document has a normal URL and semantic HTML. Reduced-motion visitors can use those links directly. A reader can move back from a document to the field, or follow a connection to another document.

The larger purpose remains Mhoo at a human scale. This first slice gives us something concrete to use before deciding what an editor, search, or a larger archive should become.
