What is deliberately absent — and how this site is built.
No trials, no pricing, no signup. You meet the products elsewhere, under their own names; this page is just the house explaining itself. It makes a proof-first case and stops there — the next milestone is always code that goes live and gets used, never a louder promise.
Built by hand. A static site in Astro: every page ships as plain HTML, styled in cascade layers, with subset, self-hosted type — no framework runtime, no cookies, no analytics that follow you. Reach is measured without cookies and technical errors are reported, both over this domain rather than a third-party connection, and both named one by one under Privacy. The weight budget is enforced in CI, not hoped for, and the number it holds the build to is measured on every build and published in the ledger — never typed in. The one moving part is the living system — a WebGL gesture on the small OGL renderer, written for this site: Narrative made wise, raw signal crystallised into finished form. Everything works without it, reduced motion is honoured, and a device that cannot carry it smoothly gets the page without it — the light and the thread stay. View source — there is little to load, and nothing to hide; the ledger keeps the receipts.
The stand you are reading is 1.5.9, released on . Editions here are versioned like a printed work rather than a product: a new number means a new edition when the guiding gesture changes, a smaller one when something you can see moves, and a smaller one still when something you cannot see is corrected. Every released stand keeps its tag, so it can be returned to.
