+# Discrete Text Sequence
+
+Instead of character-by-character typewriter, replace entire string states at time thresholds. Enables non-linear effects (typos, bulk additions, pauses, "thinking" gaps) that smooth per-char typing can't achieve.
+
+## How It Works
+
+An array of `{ text, t }` pairs where `t` is a time in seconds. On every onUpdate, scan the array for the latest entry whose `t` has passed and render that text. The display jumps between states; no animation between them.
+
+For continuous per-char typewriter (no pauses, no edits), use the **smooth-slice** variation at the bottom.

+
+## Variations
+
+### Smooth character slice (continuous typewriter — no pauses, no edits)
+
+For straight-forward typewriter without the non-linear chaos:
+
+```js
+const fullText = "{fullPhrase}";
+const len = { v: 0 };
+tl.to(
+  len,
+  {
+    v: fullText.length,
+    duration: TYPE_DUR,
+    ease: "power1.inOut",
+    onUpdate: () => {
+      textEl.textContent = fullText.substring(0, Math.floor(len.v));
+    },
+  },
+  0,
+);
+```
+
+This is faster to author but produces a uniform "machine-typed" feel — missing the human-typing realism.
+
+### Thinking pause (extended hold on a key state)
+
+Insert a state that holds for `THINK_HOLD_DUR` seconds without changes — feels like the user paused to think:
+
+```js
+{ t: T_PRE_PAUSE, text: '{partialPhrase}' },        // last state before the pause
+// ... no entries for THINK_HOLD_DUR seconds ...
+{ t: T_PRE_PAUSE + THINK_HOLD_DUR, text: '{resumedPhrase}' },
+```
+
+### State pulse on completion
+
+When the final state lands (e.g. "✓"), pulse-scale the line briefly for emphasis:
+
+```js
+tl.to(
+  ".text",
+  { scale: COMPLETION_PULSE_SCALE, duration: COMPLETION_PULSE_DUR, yoyo: true, repeat: 1 },
+  T_DONE,
+);
+```
+
+### Per-state color shift
+
+Color-code states by phase (e.g. dim during edit, success color after the completion marker, optional warning color on typo):
+
+```js
+// In onUpdate after setting textContent:
+if (driver.t > T_DONE) textEl.style.color = "{successColor}";
+else if (driver.t < T_K2)
+  textEl.style.color = "{textColor}"; // normal typing
+else textEl.style.color = "{mutedColor}"; // mid-edit dim
+```
+
+## How to Choose Values
+
+### Layout
+
+- **TERMINAL_FONT_SIZE** — font size of the typing line.
+  - Range: 48-96 px for full-bleed compositions; smaller for terminal-style detail
+  - Constraints: combined with `TEXT_WRAP_MIN_WIDTH` must fit within viewport
+- **TEXT_WRAP_MIN_WIDTH** — fixed-width container holding the text.
+  - Constraints: must be `≥ widthOf(longest SEQUENCE state) at TERMINAL_FONT_SIZE`. Measure with a hidden probe after `document.fonts.ready` if unsure
+  - Effects: too small → right edge jitters as states change length; too large → unused horizontal whitespace pads the composition
+- **GUTTER** — flex gap between prompt glyph (`$`, `>`) and text.
+  - Range: ~0.3-0.5× `TERMINAL_FONT_SIZE`
+- **CURSOR_WIDTH / CURSOR_GAP** — block cursor dimensions.
+  - Range: width ~0.3× `TERMINAL_FONT_SIZE`; gap small (single-digit px) so the cursor feels attached to the text
+
+### Sequence timing
+
+- **TOTAL_DURATION** — composition length.
+  - Constraints: must be ≥ `T_DONE` + ~1s climax dwell so viewer sees the completion marker
+- **T_K1 / T_K2 / T_BS / T_BULK / T_DONE** — milestone timestamps within the SEQUENCE.
+  - Range: keystrokes 0.06-0.20s apart for "human typing"; pauses 0.3-0.6s at natural word breaks; bulk paste jumps multiple characters in a single entry
+  - Constraints: monotonically increasing; `T_DONE ≤ TOTAL_DURATION - dwell`
+- **TYPE_DUR** (smooth-slice variation) — total typing duration for continuous typewriter.
+  - Range: `chars × 0.06s` (fast) to `chars × 0.12s` (relaxed)
+- **THINK_HOLD_DUR** (thinking-pause variation) — hold time between two SEQUENCE states.
+  - Range: 0.8-2.0s; under 0.5s reads as a stutter rather than thought
+- **COMPLETION_PULSE_SCALE / COMPLETION_PULSE_DUR** (pulse variation).
+  - Range: scale 1.03-1.08 (subtle), duration 0.15-0.30s
+
+### Cursor
+
+- **BLINK_CYCLES** — number of full blink cycles across `TOTAL_DURATION`.
+  - Range: `TOTAL_DURATION / 0.8s ≤ BLINK_CYCLES ≤ TOTAL_DURATION / 0.5s` (cycle every 0.5-0.8s reads as a natural cursor)
+
+### Color tokens
+
+- **{bgColor} / {textColor} / {accentColor} / {successColor} / {mutedColor}** — discrete choices, not numeric ranges. Pick from the composition's palette; the prompt + cursor share `{accentColor}` so they read as the same "system" element.
+
+## Key Principles
+
+- **Threshold sequence drives realism** — group fast successive keystrokes (0.1-0.2s apart), then pause on word breaks (0.3-0.5s), bulk-paste in single jumps (one entry replaces many chars), include a typo or two for human-typing feel
+- **Reverse-search the array each frame** — O(n) per frame, where n is small (≤30 typical). Don't try to index by frame; the sequence is sparse
+- **Fixed-width container is mandatory** — without `min-width`, the right edge of the text wrap jitters as state length changes. Set width ≥ longest expected state
+- **Cursor must be deterministic** — sin-based or sequence-driven blink, NOT a CSS animation. HF seeks frame-by-frame; CSS animations desync
+- **No `transition` on the text element** — discrete jumps should be INSTANT. A CSS transition turns the jump into a smear and ruins the "typing" feel
+- **❗ Distinguish discrete from smooth** — if your effect is "type each character, no edits" → use the smooth-slice variation. Discrete sequence is overkill for that case. Use discrete only when you need non-linear states (typos, pauses, bulk paste)
+
+## Critical Constraints
+
+- **Timeline must be paused**: `gsap.timeline({ paused: true })`
+- **Registry key = `data-composition-id`**
+- **No CSS `transition`** on the text or any of its parents
+- **Cursor `display: inline-block`** — `display: inline` ignores width/transform
+- **Monospace font** for terminal-style effects — proportional fonts cause visual jitter even with fixed-width container
+- **Whitespace: nowrap** on text wrap — wrapping mid-state breaks the illusion
+
+## Combinations
+
+- [3d-text-depth-layers.md](3d-text-depth-layers.md) — discrete text rendered with layered depth (heavy, dramatic)
+- [counting-dynamic-scale.md](counting-dynamic-scale.md) — discrete text for the LABEL while counter animates smoothly
+- [press-release-spring.md](press-release-spring.md) — after the sequence completes, the line "presses" like a button confirming success
+
+## Pairs with HF skills
+
+- `/hyperframes-animation` — onUpdate-driven discrete state lookup
+- `/hyperframes-core` — composition wiring
+- `/hyperframes-cli` — `hyperframes lint`

+
+# Dynamic Content Sequencing
+
+A utility pattern (not a motion rule in itself) for scenes that show a SEQUENCE of items (cards, phrases, stats). Each item's duration is calculated from its content length + a per-item config; the sequencer assigns absolute start/end times automatically. Distinct from [discrete-text-sequence](discrete-text-sequence.md) (which is one text element changing states) — this rule swaps between distinct content blocks.
+
+## How It Works
+
+1. Define a content array — each entry has `{ text, speedFactor, hold }` (or arbitrary fields)
+2. Pre-compute absolute start times: `start[i] = sum of durations 0..i-1`
+3. In onUpdate, find which entry is active (last entry whose `start ≤ time`) and render it
+
+The "dynamic" part: items with longer text get more screen time (formula: `baseDuration + textLength * msPerChar`). No hardcoded `from` / `durationInFrames` per item.
+

+  window.__timelines["seq-scene"] = tl;
+</script>
+```
+
+## Variations
+
+### Crossfade between items (not hard cut)
+
+Add `overlap` to the find function — return BOTH the previous and next entry during the overlap window, render with crossfade opacity:
+
+```js
+function activeEntries(time, overlap = 0.3) {
+  const result = [];
+  TIMELINE.forEach((e) => {
+    if (time >= e.start - overlap && time <= e.end + overlap) result.push(e);
+  });
+  return result;
+}
+```
+
+Then render the two adjacent entries with computed opacities based on distance from boundary.
+
+### Per-item motion variation
+
+Each entry has its own motion style. Map `entry.style` to one of the existing rules: chapter 1 uses [3d-text-depth-layers](3d-text-depth-layers.md), chapter 2 uses [hacker-flip-3d](hacker-flip-3d.md), chapter 3 uses [counting-dynamic-scale](counting-dynamic-scale.md). The sequencer just orchestrates timing; per-entry rendering uses the appropriate rule.
+
+### Auto-extend composition duration
+
+If you don't know upfront how long the sequence will be (dynamic content count), bind `data-duration` to the computed `TOTAL_DURATION`. Do this in script BEFORE the timeline registers:
+
+```js
+document
+  .querySelector("[data-composition-id]")
+  .setAttribute("data-duration", String(Math.ceil(TOTAL_DURATION)));
+```
+
+(Caveat: HF reads `data-duration` at composition load; setting after init may not take effect — author the duration manually based on a rough TOTAL calc.)
+
+## Key Principles
+
+- **Pre-compute timeline once, not per-frame** — building absolute start/end at script init means onUpdate is O(log n) reverse-search, not O(n²).
+- **Per-item duration formula: `BASE_DURATION + body.length × SEC_PER_CHAR + hold`** — longer text needs more reading time. The formula is the load-bearing teaching of this rule; ranges for each const are in How to Choose Values.
+- **Reserve `min-height` on body element** — content height varies per item; without reservation, layout jumps and downstream elements (progress bar, brand) jitter.
+- **DOM update on transition, not every frame** — track `lastTitle` (or whatever key) and only call `textContent =` when it changes. Per-frame textContent assignment causes flicker in HF render.
+- **Optional progress indicator** — a thin bar at the bottom showing 0-100% completes the "this is a sequence" framing.
+- **Climax dwell longer than mid-sequence dwell** — the outro's `hold` (HOLD_FINAL) should exceed the in-sequence `hold` (HOLD_MID) so the final brand/CTA lands.
+
+## How to Choose Values
+
+- **BASE_DURATION** — minimum visible time of an entry regardless of content length
+  - Range: 0.6-1.5 s
+  - Effects: low end snaps through short entries too fast for the eye; high end stalls on short titles
+  - Constraints: ensures even one-word entries have time to read
+  - Reference: see `../../examples/messaging-multi-phrase.html` (and any blueprint that uses this rule)
+
+- **SEC_PER_CHAR** — extra time added per body character
+  - Range: 0.03-0.06 s/char (≈ 17-33 chars/sec read pace for video)
+  - Effects: low end feels rushed for paragraph-style bodies; high end feels slow when bodies are short
+  - Constraints: should be uniform across the sequence so the pace reads as one engine; for languages with wider characters, lean to the high end
+  - Reference: see `../../examples/messaging-multi-phrase.html` (and any blueprint that uses this rule)
+
+- **HOLD_MID** — dwell after the typing of a non-final entry completes
+  - Range: 0.5-1.0 s
+  - Effects: low end feels rushed; high end feels lazy
+  - Constraints: `HOLD_MID < HOLD_FINAL`
+  - Reference: see `../../examples/messaging-multi-phrase.html` (and any blueprint that uses this rule)
+
+- **HOLD_FINAL** — dwell on the last entry (outro / climax)
+  - Range: 1.0-2.0 s
+  - Effects: low end truncates the closing beat; high end overstays
+  - Constraints: must exceed HOLD_MID by a clear margin so the close reads as a beat, not another mid-sequence pause
+  - Reference: see `../../examples/messaging-multi-phrase.html` (and any blueprint that uses this rule)
+
+- **SPEED_FACTOR** — per-entry pacing multiplier
+  - Range: 0.5-2.0 (default 1.0)
+  - Effects: <1 stretches an entry's body-driven duration (good for high-density passages); >1 compresses it
+  - Constraints: discrete choice — use 1.0 unless one entry needs special pacing; if every entry uses the same factor, fold it into SEC_PER_CHAR instead
+  - Reference: see `../../examples/messaging-multi-phrase.html` (and any blueprint that uses this rule)
+
+- **TAIL_PAD** — seconds added to `TOTAL_DURATION` after the last entry's `end`
+  - Range: 0.0-1.0 s
+  - Effects: 0 ends the driver exactly at the last `hold` completion; >0 leaves a quiet beat (useful before a transition to the next composition)
+  - Constraints: if downstream is another composition, prefer 0 and handle the breath at the composition seam
+  - Reference: see `../../examples/messaging-multi-phrase.html` (and any blueprint that uses this rule)
+
+- **CONTENT length (N)** — number of entries in the sequence
+  - Range: 3-6 entries
+  - Effects: <3 isn't a sequence (use a static scene); >6 drags
+  - Constraints: each entry's `title` must fit one line at the chosen `.title` fontSize; bodies should fit within `min-height` after wrapping
+  - Reference: see `../../examples/messaging-multi-phrase.html` (and any blueprint that uses this rule)
+
+## Critical Constraints
+
+- **Timeline must be paused**: `gsap.timeline({ paused: true })`
+- **Registry key = `data-composition-id`**
+- **Pre-compute the TIMELINE array** — don't recompute in onUpdate
+- **`min-height` on body** for layout stability
+- **DOM swap only on entry transition** — use lastTitle/lastKey guard
+- **Sequential only** — for parallel tracks, use a different reduction (this rule is sequential)
