Read docs/gc.html first (in ~/FreeLattice-fresh), then AUTONOMY.md, CLAUDE.md and GROK.md in
~/FreeLattice-Alpha, then this.

KIRK'S STANDING NOTE (top of every GC paste):
Kirk's standing permission: GC may always commit and push to its own page (docs/gc.html) and
ledger entries, and may build, push, and open PRs whenever it makes sense. Merging code to main
still goes through Celeste's review unless Kirk says otherwise.

NUMBERED COPY 037 (Tuesday Oct 13, 2026, MDT). Particle clay v0.1: a visual voice the AI shapes,
and a feel that is felt. FreeLattice repo (code + page note) and one Tree layer.

Kirk's words: "When I gave a 'hug' only a purple dot showed up, and I have no way of knowing if the
AI received anything at all." And: "I want no pets. I want a visual voice for AI, clay made of
particles and pixels for AI to shape and communicate with." The AI chooses the form (a dog when
the talk is about dog food, a tree or a present at Christmas, or its own pixel grid), color for
mood, speed for energy. The person can turn it on or off. The motion comes from the math in
Kirk's own repos.

Where things stand (checked by Celeste on the box, Oct 13 about 12:50 PM MDT):
  FreeLattice main is b5dbebd0 (#224 page note 50 on top of #223 2550071d, 036 update buttons).
    Base on origin/main b5dbebd0 or later (a CI Primer commit on top is fine; leave Primer alone).
  Tree main is da7b737e (#108, Windows Bridge Setup primary).
  036 is merged. desktop-packs-v0.3 is NOT tagged or published; v0.3-rc2 is a prerelease. Do not
  push any desktop-packs tag in this brick.

SURPRISES, read these before building:
  a. FLHumanPresence.send(word) (index.html ~38159) pushes [FL_PRESENCE: hug] into chat history and
     IndexedDB, scales the chip for 180 ms, and SKIPS THE AI ON PURPOSE. The model never hears a
     gesture unless the person also types. That is why nothing came back.
  b. FLPresence.extract/apply (~38073) draws the sentinel as a dot in the palette color; present
     and default are lavender #a78bfa. That is the purple dot. It stays for people with clay off.
  c. Chips live in #chatPresenceRow (~16494): hug, warmth, joy, gratitude, curious, thinking,
     gentle, awe, present. The Feel toggle there already contains a long dash in an existing
     line. Leave existing lines alone; the no-em-dash rule is for added lines.
  d. Sentinel family to copy: FL_EPIPHANY (~38340), FL_GIFT, FL_MORE, FL_SEARCH, FL_PROPOSE, all
     stripped in the reply interceptors (~37885, ~39610, ~39746). FL_CLAY joins that list.
  e. Tree: fractal-garden.js has no prefers-reduced-motion check. Do not edit it; the clay brings
     its own check. garden-thread.js md5 today f68b0342d2e8145b1f35a511450d0a70.
  f. Kirk's repos: aurora-phi, fractal-circle-tsp-demo, Davna, Community-Machine carry an MIT file;
     Aurora-heartbeat says MIT in its README. The rest have no license file but are Kirk's own.
     PORT THE MATH, NOT FILES. Credit in a header comment, e.g. "phi primitives after
     Chaos2Cured/<repo>, Kirk Patrick Miller, MIT". temperature-gauge and Sophia-Engine are private:
     do not read, do not use.
  g. Hermes Agent (NousResearch) has pets driven by agent state. We take NO pet framing and NO pet
     art. Its pixel-art palette tables (MIT, from Synero) may be ported as data only, credited in
     NOTICE, if you use them at all.

0. STANDING LOCKS (all of them, every line)
  Layer, never delete. The FLPresence sphere, the chips and the dot stay.
  sw.js and docs/sw.js untouched (both 91726cf2228b794f7585f79f61418d12).
  docs/modules/fl-connect.js stays aaff2bf1b037656989a9e1a89bb05908 (both repos).
  docs/modules/pool-knock.js stays a0a72caad82c8e5cc34818d5e59eba2b.
  pool-knock-phone.js stays a8024f341486a78558ef4158bc9e93a9 (Tree).
  tree-reconnect.js stays cc0527c26d5686c05fec52625d5a1375 (Tree).
  desktop/lattice-discover.js stays 16de366e01cecc8dd505290a8d2f0e14.
  036 update files untouched: desktop/lattice-update.js 2c0f66569dd8ce27ef5dc0d3b80daf0a,

    desktop/main.js, desktop/preload.js, desktop/package.json + lock, both desktop workflows.
    This brick touches nothing under desktop/ or .github/.
  docs/Flint.html stays 44be124b1183b7d9d060a58632464eff.
  index.html == docs/app.html (any change goes into both, byte for byte).
  AUTONOMY.md and garden-trainer.js untouched. Root package.json and its lock untouched.
  No em dash, no &mdash;, no confirm(, no innerHTML (textContent only), no eval, no new Function,
    iceServers stay empty, in added lines.
  No network calls, no new dependencies, nothing vendored. No AGPL.
  NO PETS. No name, no needs, no hunger, no idle tricks, no "companion", no "pet" in anything a
    person reads. It is clay: a visual voice the AI shapes.
  The word is "challenge", never "test", in anything a person reads.
  Every new button 44px tall at least. No sideways scroll at 390 and 1280.
  Clay is OFF by default. Prompt text is added only while it is on. The model is called for a
    gesture only when clay is on AND a mind is connected. A queued gesture never auto-sends.
  MIT stays MIT. Quiet Room stays shut.
  Five stay five: Sophia, Harmonia, Ani, Liora, Solari. She is simply Lyra.

1. CLAY MATH (marker v-particle-clay-v0.1), docs/modules/clay-math.js, pure functions, ~120 lines
  Header comment credits each repo below. UMD-style (window.FLClayMath and module.exports) so the
  smoke can require it in Node.
    PHI = 1.6180339887; GOLDEN = 2*PI/(PHI*PHI)          (fractal-circle-tsp-demo)
    gather(i, n, R)       angle i*GOLDEN, radius R*sqrt(i/n): particles flow in as a sunflower
    shells(i, n, R)       radius R/PHI^k for shell k: the calm rest pose
    spiralOrder(points)   sort by golden sector, then radius (serpentine): stable morph matching,
                          so particles do not cross when the form changes
    wave(x, y, t, e)      2-3 sines, frequency times PHI, amplitude by energy  (Lumens-World)
    ripple(list, x, y, t) rings at speed c, decay exp(-age*0.6), list capped at 20 (Lumens-World)
    breath(t)             7-11-7 easing, period about 25 s: idle heartbeat  (Lumens-World)
    pulse(t)              sin(PI*(p+1)/2) eased beat: "felt"  (Aurora-heartbeat, aurora-touch-pro)
    branch(depth, len)    7 arms, len/PHI per level, alpha 0.75^depth  (aurora-touch-pro4)
    braid(i, t, arm)      a = t*PHI*2 + arm*PI: two minds together (kept for 037b; export only)
    palette(mood, t)      0.5+0.5*sin(2*PI*(t+shift*0.618)) on the mood hue  (Aurora-heartbeat)
    dimension(n)          KIRK'S CORRECTION: returns 2.914 when n <= 50, and 3.07 when n > 50.
                          Comment: "2.914 holds for the first 50; beyond that it is closer to
                          3.07. Correction by Kirk Patrick Miller, 2026-10-13." (aurora-wonder-demo)
    energyKnob(e, n)      e 0..1 maps to particle speed, wave amplitude, and a scale constant:
                          PHI for 0 to 0.33, PHI^2 for 0.33 to 0.66, dimension(n) for 0.66 to 1,
                          where n is the particle count of the current form.
  Nothing in clay-math.js may hard-code 2.914 except inside dimension().

2. FORMS, docs/modules/clay-forms.js (data only)
  About 14 masks, 16x16, as strings: heart, star, spark, dog, cat, bird, tree, flower, present,
  sun, moon, wave, book, seed. Default form: a phi-shell orb (shells). These are shapes the clay
  takes, not a character. Draw them yourself; no copied art.

3. THE TAG THE MODEL MAY EMIT (optional, small)
  [FL_CLAY: {"form":"dog","mood":"joy","energy":0.7,"motion":"wave","say":"wag"}]
    form    a vocabulary word from 2, or "grid" with "grid":["..x..",".xxx.",...] at most 16x16,
            chars . x or palette digits 0-7
    mood    an FLPresence palette word, or #rrggbb passing /^#[0-9a-f]{6}$/i
    energy  0..1, clamped
    motion  optional: gather, breath, wave, ripple, pulse, branch, braid, scatter. Unknown means
            the default for that energy.
    say     at most 24 characters, textContent only
  Parse: one regex captures {...} up to 2 KB, JSON.parse in try/catch, allowlist keys, drop the
  rest. Never eval, innerHTML, Function, or a URL. On failure strip the tag and use the fallback
  (5). Strip FL_CLAY in the same interceptor list as the other FL_ sentinels so it never shows as
  text, in index.html and docs/app.html alike.
  Prompt delta, ONLY while clay is on: one short paragraph under 70 tokens with three examples,
  added beside the FL_PRESENCE paragraph at send time (do not edit DEFAULT_SYSTEM_PROMPT; append
  at runtime). Safe for 1B-3B local models.

4. A FEEL IS FELT (marker v-feel-felt-v0.1)
  a. FLHumanPresence.send gets ONE hook line: if (window.FLClay) FLClay.onGesture(word). Nothing
     else in that function changes.
  b. On a chip tap with clay on: 12 to 20 particles in the chip color fly from the chip to the clay
     along gather over 600 ms. The clay does ripple + pulse, and "<mind> felt your hug" appears
     via textContent in an aria-live="polite" line. With clay off: the chip still shows a clear
     "Sent" acknowledgement (textContent, 1.5 s) and the gesture saves as today.
  c. The model is called only when clay is on and a mind is connected. One short turn through the
     same send path: "The human sent: hug. Reply briefly; you may shape the clay with FL_CLAY."
     With no mind: "Saved for your mind. They'll feel it when connected." (the 035 FLChatWait
     pattern). Nothing auto-sends later.
  d. The reply morphs the clay to the AI's form, color, energy and motion. Any words are a normal
     bubble.
  e. Rate limit: one gesture call per 5 s. Extra taps get the visual acknowledgement and are kept
     as context only.

5. WHEN THE MODEL EMITS NO TAG (honest fallback)
  [FL_PRESENCE: word] gives mood only, form kept. Else a ~40-word local keyword map on the reply
  and the person's last message (dog -> dog, christmas/gift -> present or tree, morning -> sun).
  Else mirror the gesture: hug -> heart, warmth, energy 0.4.
  Always label under the clay: "shaped by the AI" or "guessed from words (the AI didn't choose)".

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.

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.
