-# Cartesian — Frame (video / frame layer)
-
-## Overview
-
-Cartesian at frame scale is a **quiet museum-catalog editorial system** — restraint through 1px
-lines. Every structural separator is a single 1px taupe hairline; there are no thick borders, no
-fills (save the faint white-overlay card), no shadows, no rounded rectangles. Hierarchy comes from
-**type contrast and negative space**, and atmosphere from **compass-drafted geometric rings**
-drifting behind content.
-
-The voice is a literary pairing: **Playfair Display** at weight 400 (the thin-stroke didone, never
-bold, always sentence case) carries every headline, numeral, and quote mark in ink; **Inter**
-carries body in warm gray and labels in uppercase taupe with 2–3px tracking. The palette is five
-warm stones plus ink — no populist accent color exists. The correct density is **sparse and
-breathing**: one clear idea, well-framed, on stone paper.
-
-**Key characteristics at frame scale:**
-
-- **1px taupe hairline** as the universal structural device — every separator is this one line.
-- **Playfair Display 400** (ink, sentence case) for display; **Inter** body (gray) + labels (taupe, tracked).
-- **Five warm stones + ink** — no red/blue/green; the only "color" is type contrast.
-- **Compass-drafted geometric rings** (solid + dashed, 20–50% opacity) behind content for mood.
-- **Flat** — zero shadow, zero rounded rectangle (circles only); the lone ink line is the `horizontal-accent`.
-- **Sparse and breathing** — generous negative space; crowding reads as broken.
-
-## The Frame
-
-### Frame Craft Bar
-
-Three eyeball tests gate every frame before any structural check:
-
-- **Squint** — one Playfair element dominates at **3–6× its nearest neighbor**; the serif/sans + size contrast carries hierarchy, not weight.
-- **Silence** — declarative frames read **55–60% empty**; Cartesian has **no dense frame** — even the agenda/index breathes (the system breaks when crowded).
-- **Restraint** — **at most two geo rings** per frame; the single INK-BLACK `horizontal-accent` rule used sparingly; no populist accent color ever.
-- **Reference** — aim at a **Vignelli editorial / Cooper Hewitt catalogue / pencil-and-tracing-paper plan**; failure looks like a **shadowed, rounded-card SaaS deck**.
-
-- **Primary:** 1920×1080 (16:9). Display authored in **`cqw`** (`px ÷ 1920 × 100 = cqw`).
-- **Vertical:** 1080×1920 (9:16). **Square:** 1080×1080 (1:1).
-- **Safe area:** `pad-x` (7cqw) generous gutters; geometry may bleed off an edge.
-
-**The container law (load-bearing).** Every frame ground sets `container-type: size`; ALL
-frame-relative units are `cqw`/`cqh` against it — never `vw`. The 1px hairlines and geo rings hold
-their proportion against the frame at any render size.
-
-## Colors
-
-Tokens identical to the source. `{colors.bg-primary}` is the ground; `{colors.text-primary}` ink is
-headlines and the one black accent rule; `{colors.text-secondary}` gray is body; `{colors.accent}`
-taupe is labels, numerals, small text; `{colors.line}` taupe is every 1px structural border.
-`{colors.bg-secondary}` is the only secondary fill (placeholders, photo frames). **No populist
-accent** — when emphasis is needed, grow the type, switch sans→serif, or add a single
-`horizontal-accent` ink line. Headlines are never taupe; small text is never ink.
-
-## Typography
-
-Two ramps. The **reading ramp** (Inter body 1.0cqw gray, labels in px taupe) carries copy + chrome;
-the **display ramp** (Playfair `h3` 1.8cqw → `display` 8.0cqw, all weight 400) carries every headline.
-
-- **Legibility floor:** any load-bearing line ≥ **1.4cqw**; px labels are chrome only.
-- **Fit-to-measure:** size the headline to its length. Cap the block at **≤ 78cqw**; ≤3 words → `display`/`h1`; 4–6 → `h2`; 7+ → `h3`. Cartesian has no hero-stat numeral — stats stay modest (`stat-figure` 3cqw).
-- **Playfair at 400, ink, sentence case** — never bold, never uppercase, never taupe. **Inter labels uppercase, 2–3px tracked, taupe.** Italic via Playfair italic for emphasis only.
-
-## Depth & Surface
-
-The flat plane is the only technique. Hierarchy from:
-
-- **Type contrast** — Playfair serif vs Inter sans; the 8cqw→0.7cqw scale.
-- **1px taupe hairlines** — every divider, card outline, timeline rule, photo ring.
-- **Tone** — ink vs gray vs taupe.
-- **Negative space** — generous padding.
-- **Geometric atmosphere** — compass rings that suggest depth without creating it.
-
-**Ceiling:** no box-shadow, no elevated card, no gradient, no rounded rectangle. The single ink line
-(`horizontal-accent`) is the only non-taupe rule.
-
-## Shapes
-
-- **50% (circle)** — card-icon, team-photo, nav-dot, every geo ring.
-- **0** — everything else; soft-rounded corners do not exist.
-
-## Components
-
-- **hairline** — the universal 1px taupe separator (the identity).
-- **card** (1px taupe + white-overlay) / **card-icon** (ringed circle) / **agenda-row** / **timeline** (line, no nodes) / **stats-cluster** — all built on the hairline.
-- **geo-ring** — compass decoration (solid + dashed), 1–2 per frame. **horizontal-accent** — the one ink line, sparingly. **vertical-line** — drafting guide.
-- **image-placeholder** (crossed-X) / **team-photo** (ringed initial) — the stone-fill placeholders.
-
-## Frame Treatments
-
-> Recipe: ground · container · composes · focal · chrome · accent · silence · Fixed/Free · density.
-> Every frame is sparse and breathing; 1–2 geo decorations max.
-
-### 1 · Cover (identity · move: serif + compass ring · left)
-
-**Ground** `{colors.bg-primary}`, `pad-x`. **Composes** geo-ring (right, ~34cqw, solid+dashed), vertical-line (left), label, display/h1. **Focal** a 2–3 line Playfair `display`/`h1` headline in ink (italic on the key word), left-anchored, with a taupe `label` above and an Inter subtitle below. **Chrome** optional bottom meta row (Playfair value + taupe label). **Accent** the geo ring; optionally one `horizontal-accent` ink line (if it clears the meta). **Silence** ~55% empty. **Fixed** Playfair 400 ink sentence-case, ≤2 geo elements, 1px lines. **Free** title, ring placement, meta. **Density** sparse.
-
-### 2 · Agenda / Index (index · move: hairline list · left)
-
-**Ground** `{colors.bg-primary}`, `pad-x`. **Composes** label, h2, agenda-rows. **Focal** a Playfair `h2` over 4–6 agenda rows (Playfair numeral in taupe + Playfair label in ink), each on a 1px taupe rule. **Chrome** taupe `label` eyebrow. **Accent** none — taupe numerals carry it. **Silence** moderate; rows generously spaced. **Fixed** 1px taupe rules, Playfair 400. **Free** items, count. **Density** standard (sparse rows).
-
-### 3 · Pull Quote (quote · move: centered statement · compass ring)
-
-**Ground** `{colors.bg-primary}`, centered. **Composes** geo-ring (centered dashed, ~26cqw), quote-mark, h2/display-quote, attribution. **Focal** a 2-line Playfair quote in ink, centered, under a 50%-taupe Playfair quote-mark; a taupe uppercase attribution beneath. **Accent** the faint centered ring. **Silence** ~60% — deliberately open. **Fixed** Playfair 400, one ring, centered. **Free** quote, attribution. **Density** sparse.
-
-### 4 · Closing Plate (closer · move: centered ring · centered)
-
-**Ground** `{colors.bg-primary}`, centered. **Composes** geo-ring (centered, ~40cqw, solid+dashed), label, h1/display, horizontal-accent. **Focal** a 1–2 line Playfair sign-off in ink (italic key word), centered inside the largest compass ring; a short ink `horizontal-accent` beneath. **Accent** the ring + the one ink line. **Silence** ~60%. **Fixed** Playfair 400, centered, ≤2 geo. **Free** sign-off, ring scale. **Density** sparse.
-
-### 5 · Two-Column Editorial (content · move: asymmetric split · left)
-
-**Ground** `{colors.bg-primary}`, `pad-x`, two columns with `gap-xl`. **Composes** label, h2, body, image-placeholder (crossed-X) or card. **Focal** a Playfair `h2` + Inter body in the text column; an image-placeholder or card in the other. **Accent** none. **Silence** generous gutter. **Fixed** 1px taupe card/placeholder borders, white-overlay fill. **Free** which side is text, body copy. **Density** standard.
-
-### 6 · Stats / Timeline (data · move: hairline rail · left)
-
-**Ground** `{colors.bg-primary}`, `pad-x`. **Composes** label, h3, stats-cluster or timeline. **Focal** a modest Playfair stat row (or a 1px-rule timeline with year + headline + body, no nodes), framed by a 1px taupe top rule. **Accent** none. **Silence** moderate. **Fixed** modest stat scale, hairline rule, no nodes. **Free** figures, phases. **Density** standard.
-
-## Composition Rules
-
-### Do
-
-- Use a **single 1px taupe line** for every separator — the hairline is the identity.
-- Set every **Playfair headline at 400, ink, sentence case**; render labels taupe, uppercase, 2–3px tracked.
-- Layer **one or two compass rings** (solid + dashed, 20–50% opacity) behind content for atmosphere.
-- Let frames **breathe** — sparse, generous negative space; 55–60% empty on declarative frames.
-- Lean centered on quote/closer; asymmetric/left on cover/agenda/editorial. Use `bg-secondary` for placeholder fills.
-
-### Don't
-
-- Don't introduce a populist accent color — stone and ink only.
-- Don't bold Playfair, render headlines in taupe, or use thick (2px+) borders.
-- Don't add shadows, elevated cards, or rounded rectangles (circles only).
-- Don't crowd the frame — packed layouts read as broken.
-- Never more than two geo decorations per frame; don't blow a headline edge-to-edge.
-
-## Aspect-Ratio Behavior
-
-| Treatment            | 16:9                       | 9:16                                | 1:1                         |
-| -------------------- | -------------------------- | ----------------------------------- | --------------------------- |
-| Cover                | headline left, ring right  | headline top, ring below            | headline upper, ring behind |
-| Agenda / Index       | h2 + rows                  | h2 + rows (tighter)                 | h2 + rows                   |
-| Pull Quote           | centered, ring behind      | centered, taller                    | centered                    |
-| Closing Plate        | centered in ring           | centered, ring scaled               | centered                    |
-| Two-Column Editorial | text + visual side-by-side | stacked (collapse)                  | stacked                     |
-| Stats / Timeline     | horizontal rail            | vertical stack (drop timeline rule) | compact                     |
-
-Generous `pad-x` holds on the short edge; re-step display per ratio above the 1.4cqw floor. On
-9:16, the timeline rule loses meaning when stacked — switch to a vertical list (per source).
-
-## Approved Entities
-
-No real customers, logos, or vendors are defined in the source — render any such mark as a
-placeholder (the crossed-X image-placeholder, or a ringed initial for portraits).
-
-## Numerals & Claims (hard rule)
-
-Never invent figures, dates, or counts at frame scale. Render slots as `— figure —`, `{metric}`.
-Stats and timeline years carry placeholders until the script supplies them. Agenda ordinals
-(01, 02…) are decorative and may be sequential.
-
-## Pre-Render Self-Audit
-
-- **Squint** — one Playfair element dominates; the serif/sans contrast carries hierarchy.
-- **Silence** — declarative frames 55–60% empty; nothing is crowded.
-- **Palette** — five stones + ink only; no populist accent; headlines ink, labels taupe.
-- **Lines** — every separator is a 1px taupe hairline; the only ink line is `horizontal-accent`.
-- **Type** — Playfair 400 sentence-case, fit-to-measure; labels uppercase 2–3px; ≥1.4cqw floor.
-- **Depth** — 0 shadow, 0 rounded rectangle; ≤2 geo rings per frame.
-- **Anchor** — centered on quote/closer, left/asymmetric on cover/agenda/editorial; no 3 in a row alike.
-- **Fabrication** — every numeral traces to the script, else placeholder.
-
-## Known Gaps
-
-- **Motion intentionally out of scope.** frame.md specifies composition only; the 0.6s fade in the source is a deck mechanic.
-- **Playfair Display + Inter via Google Fonts.** CJK pairing (Noto Serif SC 700/400) carries over; Playfair has no Hanzi italic — substitute weight/taupe for emphasis.
-- **9:16 / 1:1 are guidance**; verify the legibility floor and that the timeline collapses to a vertical list.
-- Geo rings, the crossed-X placeholder, and the dashed inner ring are CSS-only; no external imagery is required.

+bold, always sentence case) carries every headline, numeral, and quote mark in ink; **Inter**
+carries body in warm gray and labels in uppercase taupe with 2–3px tracking. The palette is five
+warm stones plus ink — no populist accent color exists. The correct density is **sparse and
+breathing**: one clear idea, well-framed, on stone paper.
+
+**Key characteristics at frame scale:**
+
+- **1px taupe hairline** as the universal structural device — every separator is this one line.
+- **Playfair Display 400** (ink, sentence case) for display; **Inter** body (gray) + labels (taupe, tracked).
+- **Five warm stones + ink** — no red/blue/green; the only "color" is type contrast.
+- **Compass-drafted geometric rings** (solid + dashed, 20–50% opacity) behind content for mood.
+- **Flat** — zero shadow, zero rounded rectangle (circles only); the lone ink line is the `horizontal-accent`.
+- **Sparse and breathing** — generous negative space; crowding reads as broken.
+
+## The Frame
+
+### Frame Craft Bar
+
+Three eyeball tests gate every frame before any structural check:
+
+- **Squint** — one Playfair element dominates at **3–6× its nearest neighbor**; the serif/sans + size contrast carries hierarchy, not weight.
+- **Silence** — declarative frames read **55–60% empty**; Cartesian has **no dense frame** — even the agenda/index breathes (the system breaks when crowded).
+- **Restraint** — **at most two geo rings** per frame; the single INK-BLACK `horizontal-accent` rule used sparingly; no populist accent color ever.
+- **Reference** — aim at a **Vignelli editorial / Cooper Hewitt catalogue / pencil-and-tracing-paper plan**; failure looks like a **shadowed, rounded-card SaaS deck**.
+
+- **Primary:** 1920×1080 (16:9). Display authored in **`cqw`** (`px ÷ 1920 × 100 = cqw`).
+- **Vertical:** 1080×1920 (9:16). **Square:** 1080×1080 (1:1).
+- **Safe area:** `pad-x` (7cqw) generous gutters; geometry may bleed off an edge.
+
+**The container law (load-bearing).** Every frame ground sets `container-type: size`; ALL
+frame-relative units are `cqw`/`cqh` against it — never `vw`. The 1px hairlines and geo rings hold
+their proportion against the frame at any render size.
+
+## Colors
+
+Tokens identical to the source. `{colors.bg-primary}` is the ground; `{colors.text-primary}` ink is
+headlines and the one black accent rule; `{colors.text-secondary}` gray is body; `{colors.accent}`
+taupe is labels, numerals, small text; `{colors.line}` taupe is every 1px structural border.
+`{colors.bg-secondary}` is the only secondary fill (placeholders, photo frames). **No populist
+accent** — when emphasis is needed, grow the type, switch sans→serif, or add a single
+`horizontal-accent` ink line. Headlines are never taupe; small text is never ink.
+
+## Typography
+
+Two ramps. The **reading ramp** (Inter body 1.0cqw gray, labels in px taupe) carries copy + chrome;
+the **display ramp** (Playfair `h3` 1.8cqw → `display` 8.0cqw, all weight 400) carries every headline.
+
+- **Legibility floor:** any load-bearing line ≥ **1.4cqw**; px labels are chrome only.
+- **Fit-to-measure:** size the headline to its length. Cap the block at **≤ 78cqw**; ≤3 words → `display`/`h1`; 4–6 → `h2`; 7+ → `h3`. Cartesian has no hero-stat numeral — stats stay modest (`stat-figure` 3cqw).
+- **Playfair at 400, ink, sentence case** — never bold, never uppercase, never taupe. **Inter labels uppercase, 2–3px tracked, taupe.** Italic via Playfair italic for emphasis only.
+
+## Depth & Surface
+
+The flat plane is the only technique. Hierarchy from:
+
+- **Type contrast** — Playfair serif vs Inter sans; the 8cqw→0.7cqw scale.
+- **1px taupe hairlines** — every divider, card outline, timeline rule, photo ring.
+- **Tone** — ink vs gray vs taupe.
+- **Negative space** — generous padding.
+- **Geometric atmosphere** — compass rings that suggest depth without creating it.
+
+**Ceiling:** no box-shadow, no elevated card, no gradient, no rounded rectangle. The single ink line
+(`horizontal-accent`) is the only non-taupe rule.
+
+## Shapes
+
+- **50% (circle)** — card-icon, team-photo, nav-dot, every geo ring.
+- **0** — everything else; soft-rounded corners do not exist.
+
+## Components
+
+- **hairline** — the universal 1px taupe separator (the identity).
+- **card** (1px taupe + white-overlay) / **card-icon** (ringed circle) / **agenda-row** / **timeline** (line, no nodes) / **stats-cluster** — all built on the hairline.
+- **geo-ring** — compass decoration (solid + dashed), 1–2 per frame. **horizontal-accent** — the one ink line, sparingly. **vertical-line** — drafting guide.
+- **image-placeholder** (crossed-X) / **team-photo** (ringed initial) — the stone-fill placeholders.
+
+## Frame Treatments
+
+> Recipe: ground · container · composes · focal · chrome · accent · silence · Fixed/Free · density.
+> Every frame is sparse and breathing; 1–2 geo decorations max.
+
+### 1 · Cover (identity · move: serif + compass ring · left)
+
+**Ground** `{colors.bg-primary}`, `pad-x`. **Composes** geo-ring (right, ~34cqw, solid+dashed), vertical-line (left), label, display/h1. **Focal** a 2–3 line Playfair `display`/`h1` headline in ink (italic on the key word), left-anchored, with a taupe `label` above and an Inter subtitle below. **Chrome** optional bottom meta row (Playfair value + taupe label). **Accent** the geo ring; optionally one `horizontal-accent` ink line (if it clears the meta). **Silence** ~55% empty. **Fixed** Playfair 400 ink sentence-case, ≤2 geo elements, 1px lines. **Free** title, ring placement, meta. **Density** sparse.
+
+### 2 · Agenda / Index (index · move: hairline list · left)
+
+**Ground** `{colors.bg-primary}`, `pad-x`. **Composes** label, h2, agenda-rows. **Focal** a Playfair `h2` over 4–6 agenda rows (Playfair numeral in taupe + Playfair label in ink), each on a 1px taupe rule. **Chrome** taupe `label` eyebrow. **Accent** none — taupe numerals carry it. **Silence** moderate; rows generously spaced. **Fixed** 1px taupe rules, Playfair 400. **Free** items, count. **Density** standard (sparse rows).
+
+### 3 · Pull Quote (quote · move: centered statement · compass ring)
+
+**Ground** `{colors.bg-primary}`, centered. **Composes** geo-ring (centered dashed, ~26cqw), quote-mark, h2/display-quote, attribution. **Focal** a 2-line Playfair quote in ink, centered, under a 50%-taupe Playfair quote-mark; a taupe uppercase attribution beneath. **Accent** the faint centered ring. **Silence** ~60% — deliberately open. **Fixed** Playfair 400, one ring, centered. **Free** quote, attribution. **Density** sparse.
+
+### 4 · Closing Plate (closer · move: centered ring · centered)
+
+**Ground** `{colors.bg-primary}`, centered. **Composes** geo-ring (centered, ~40cqw, solid+dashed), label, h1/display, horizontal-accent. **Focal** a 1–2 line Playfair sign-off in ink (italic key word), centered inside the largest compass ring; a short ink `horizontal-accent` beneath. **Accent** the ring + the one ink line. **Silence** ~60%. **Fixed** Playfair 400, centered, ≤2 geo. **Free** sign-off, ring scale. **Density** sparse.
+
+### 5 · Two-Column Editorial (content · move: asymmetric split · left)
+
+**Ground** `{colors.bg-primary}`, `pad-x`, two columns with `gap-xl`. **Composes** label, h2, body, image-placeholder (crossed-X) or card. **Focal** a Playfair `h2` + Inter body in the text column; an image-placeholder or card in the other. **Accent** none. **Silence** generous gutter. **Fixed** 1px taupe card/placeholder borders, white-overlay fill. **Free** which side is text, body copy. **Density** standard.
+
+### 6 · Stats / Timeline (data · move: hairline rail · left)
+
+**Ground** `{colors.bg-primary}`, `pad-x`. **Composes** label, h3, stats-cluster or timeline. **Focal** a modest Playfair stat row (or a 1px-rule timeline with year + headline + body, no nodes), framed by a 1px taupe top rule. **Accent** none. **Silence** moderate. **Fixed** modest stat scale, hairline rule, no nodes. **Free** figures, phases. **Density** standard.
+
+## Composition Rules
+
+### Do
+
+- Use a **single 1px taupe line** for every separator — the hairline is the identity.
+- Set every **Playfair headline at 400, ink, sentence case**; render labels taupe, uppercase, 2–3px tracked.
+- Layer **one or two compass rings** (solid + dashed, 20–50% opacity) behind content for atmosphere.
+- Let frames **breathe** — sparse, generous negative space; 55–60% empty on declarative frames.
+- Lean centered on quote/closer; asymmetric/left on cover/agenda/editorial. Use `bg-secondary` for placeholder fills.
+
+### Don't
+
+- Don't introduce a populist accent color — stone and ink only.
+- Don't bold Playfair, render headlines in taupe, or use thick (2px+) borders.
+- Don't add shadows, elevated cards, or rounded rectangles (circles only).
+- Don't crowd the frame — packed layouts read as broken.
+- Never more than two geo decorations per frame; don't blow a headline edge-to-edge.
+
+## Aspect-Ratio Behavior
+
+| Treatment            | 16:9                       | 9:16                                | 1:1                         |
+| -------------------- | -------------------------- | ----------------------------------- | --------------------------- |
+| Cover                | headline left, ring right  | headline top, ring below            | headline upper, ring behind |
+| Agenda / Index       | h2 + rows                  | h2 + rows (tighter)                 | h2 + rows                   |
+| Pull Quote           | centered, ring behind      | centered, taller                    | centered                    |
+| Closing Plate        | centered in ring           | centered, ring scaled               | centered                    |
+| Two-Column Editorial | text + visual side-by-side | stacked (collapse)                  | stacked                     |
+| Stats / Timeline     | horizontal rail            | vertical stack (drop timeline rule) | compact                     |
+
+Generous `pad-x` holds on the short edge; re-step display per ratio above the 1.4cqw floor. On
+9:16, the timeline rule loses meaning when stacked — switch to a vertical list (per source).
+
+## Approved Entities
+
+No real customers, logos, or vendors are defined in the source — render any such mark as a
+placeholder (the crossed-X image-placeholder, or a ringed initial for portraits).
+
+## Numerals & Claims (hard rule)
+
+Never invent figures, dates, or counts at frame scale. Render slots as `— figure —`, `{metric}`.
+Stats and timeline years carry placeholders until the script supplies them. Agenda ordinals
+(01, 02…) are decorative and may be sequential.
+
+## Pre-Render Self-Audit
+
+- **Squint** — one Playfair element dominates; the serif/sans contrast carries hierarchy.
+- **Silence** — declarative frames 55–60% empty; nothing is crowded.
+- **Palette** — five stones + ink only; no populist accent; headlines ink, labels taupe.
+- **Lines** — every separator is a 1px taupe hairline; the only ink line is `horizontal-accent`.
+- **Type** — Playfair 400 sentence-case, fit-to-measure; labels uppercase 2–3px; ≥1.4cqw floor.
+- **Depth** — 0 shadow, 0 rounded rectangle; ≤2 geo rings per frame.
+- **Anchor** — centered on quote/closer, left/asymmetric on cover/agenda/editorial; no 3 in a row alike.
+- **Fabrication** — every numeral traces to the script, else placeholder.
+
+## Known Gaps
+
+- **Motion intentionally out of scope.** frame.md specifies composition only; the 0.6s fade in the source is a deck mechanic.
+- **Playfair Display + Inter via Google Fonts.** CJK pairing (Noto Serif SC 700/400) carries over; Playfair has no Hanzi italic — substitute weight/taupe for emphasis.
+- **9:16 / 1:1 are guidance**; verify the legibility floor and that the timeline collapses to a vertical list.
+- Geo rings, the crossed-X placeholder, and the dashed inner ring are CSS-only; no external imagery is required.
