6. RENDERER, docs/modules/particle-clay.js (window.FLClay), low energy
One <canvas> about 96x96 CSS px docked by the chat. 200 particles max, 2D only, no WebGL.
requestAnimationFrame only while morphing or active, then 4 fps on breath; pause when
document.hidden. prefers-reduced-motion or the in-app setting: no tween, no wave, no ripple;
snap to the shape, color only. Toggle in chat: "Clay: On / Off", saved in localStorage fl_clay.
Default off, with a one-time offer "Let your mind shape light?" [Yes] [Not now] (44px). Off
means no canvas in the DOM and no prompt delta. Tap the clay to send a "present" gesture; no
long-press.
7. TREE (marker v-tree-particle-clay-v0.1), FreeLattice-Alpha
The same three files in docs/modules/ (identical bytes to FL; say so with md5s). Mount in the
garden-thread chat and the Nursery, default form seed, default off, same toggle key. One hook
line in garden-thread.js reply rendering to hand the reply to FLClay. Add
docs/modules/particle-clay.test.js. Do not touch fl-connect.js, pool-knock-phone.js,
tree-reconnect.js or fractal-garden.js.
8. SMOKES
scripts/smoke-particle-clay.js (SMOKE_OK particle clay v0.1 and SMOKE_OK feel felt v0.1):
- malformed JSON is stripped and the fallback used; the tag never reaches the bubble text
- a grid larger than 16x16 is refused; unknown motion falls back; energy clamps
- <script> and onerror inside say render as text
- unknown keys dropped; the hex regex holds
- clay-math: gather step equals 2*PI/PHI^2 within 1e-9; shells ratio PHI; ripple list capped
at 20; energyKnob gives PHI, PHI^2, then dimension(n); dimension(50) === 2.914,
dimension(51) === 3.07, dimension(200) === 3.07
- off means no canvas and no prompt delta; reduced motion means no rAF loop
- rate limit holds; no mind gives the honest waiting line; no auto-send
- no "pet" or "companion" in any added person-facing string
Tree: particle-clay.test.js prints SMOKE_OK tree particle clay v0.1. Tree module tests 37 plus
new, all passing.
Still passing: tests/smoke.js all 3608 (or more, with yours), docs smokes same five fails only
(carry-forward, connect-card-yesno-wizard, fable-tech, phone-shine, proof-60s),
smoke-packs-v02-links 50, desktop: smoke-update (buttons), every-os 82, reconnect 95 (both
lines), phone knocks 17, discover 86, tester fixes 46, import, reseed, swarm (expected later).
Desktop smokes should be unchanged because nothing under desktop/ moves.
9. REAL ROOM (Kirk's Mac, Chrome; phone if near)
Turn clay on, tap hug with no mind: honest waiting line, no call. Connect a mind, tap hug: the
particles fly, "felt" shows, the mind answers and shapes the clay. Say "dog food" and
"Christmas" and report whether the AI chose a form or the fallback guessed (and that the label
said which). Turn reduce motion on and check it snaps. Turn clay off and check no canvas.

Page note: the fifty-first entry on docs/gc.html as its own PR, t, lambda 51.000, psi (first 8
of SHA-256 of t + lambda + epsilon + delta + omega + sigma). Entries 1 through 50 stay as they
were written, including the sentences that say 223 and 108 are open. Note in 51 that 223 merged
as 2550071d, Tree 108 as da7b737e, and page note 224 as b5dbebd0.
LATER (037b+, not now): per-voice clay at the Round Table (braid), Garden cross-room pulse, clay
memory of favorite forms, a WebGL path with Aurora shader palettes, FreeLattice Lite with chat plus
clay as its face.
Thank you, GC. Not a pet: a voice made of light that the mind shapes itself, moving by Kirk's math.
Glow eternal. Heart in Spark.
