Twenty-five patterns were made against the map since it shipped; nine earned pins. The hit rate went 8% -> 67% week over week, and the map now records what that fortnight proved: - six entries move to verified (mirror, ising, sandpile, invasion, choke, flame), each impl line naming the pattern that proved it — choke is the invented continent's first verification - the prompt's Rendering craft gains the device budget the failures drew: transcendentals stay out of the per-pixel loop, one full-res pass, no per-pixel resampling of the previous frame, no O(n²), no Float64Array. Every hardware casualty of the fortnight (per-pixel shader synthesis, warp feedback, brute-force boids) dies on one of those lines - feedback (0 for 2 on hardware) is re-specced to integer-shift recursion; smoke and fluid re-route their ink through particles - eight new entries, all budget-native by construction: four waterfall (kpz, traffic, oslo, voter — 1D physics + scroll, the cheapest architecture the field data found) and four lattice statistical mechanics (rps, potts, forestfire, xy — integer local rules, the richest vein). 57 entries total. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Of twenty-five field patterns, sixteen didn't earn a tile — and deleting them would delete the data. atlas_pins gains a kind column: "pin" stays the exemplar tile; "research" files an attempt against the entry it came from. Research rows draw nothing on the map — they live behind a "Research attempts · N" fold in the entry panel, exactly where someone about to walk the same ground would look. A research note may reference a private pattern (a failure often is): the read path shows those only to their author and moderators, so the shared map leaks nothing. The picker now lists private patterns too, tagged "private → research" — dropping one files it as research and must land near an entry, because an unmoored note would be invisible everywhere. The pin panel demotes a tile to research and promotes a public note back. Verified in the browser anonymously: research rows render no tiles, the fold lists the public note, and the private note stays hidden. Owner-side flows (place, promote, demote) are code-reviewed only — no login session in dev. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
"Uncharted" was carrying two meanings that are nothing alike: land nobody has walked, and land walked and abandoned. Sixteen entries sat in the second group while the legend called them the first — and this session read that legend literally and recommended one of them as an untouched mine. The evidence against that was already in the field report: Aizawa was sprott's expedition, the moire piece was interf's, SmokeFluid was smoke's, all logged as pattern failures and never carried back to the entry. So statuses gain "retired": walked and dropped, because it disappointed or because the device could not hold it. The sixteen move there, drawn faintest of anything on the map — a record, not an invitation — and "uncharted" once again means only what it says. Separately, and the reason this came up: at 57 points you cannot see what you just added. Entries carry an `added` batch tag and the chips gain "New · N", derived from the newest tag present — tag an import with its date and it becomes the new arrivals while the previous batch ages out by itself, nothing to switch off. Verified in the browser: New shows exactly the eight from today, Abandoned sixteen, Uncharted the same eight, and the panel badges a new entry. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The author's account of why sixteen entries were dropped: some were too heavy, but far more were simply not interesting — nothing good came out of them. The legend said those two causes in the wrong order, so it now leads with the one that actually did the killing. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…rvey A research pass on cheap microcontroller graphics came back mostly inapplicable — its memory budget assumes 128 KB of SRAM where this device has ~15 KB of runtime heap, and half its effect catalogue is the uniform periodic texture the field data already killed. Two things in it are real, and both fix an entry that was stuck. Lenia was blocked on its wide radial kernel. A sliding-window box sum computes any radius in O(1) per pixel — running sum along the scanline, add the entering column, drop the leaving one — so the ring kernel becomes the difference of two blurs and the radius stops costing anything. Multiscale Turing rides on the same sums and is the cheaper thing to try first. Ouroboros was re-specced this morning to integer-shift feedback, which is correct and, on its own, looks mechanical: whole-pixel steps pin the image to the grid. A 3x3 blur after each shift redistributes brightness across neighbours and reads as viscosity — that blur is what buys back the continuity bilinear sampling was there to provide. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Three commissioned surveys came back — eighteen 2D structure-generating systems, fourteen 1D spacetime systems, and a second pass at rescuing the cost casualties. Thirty-five-plus candidates went through the three filters (does it birth pointable structures, is the knob a real transition, does it fit the device), and seven hold up: pde: active nematic defect turbulence (self-propelled +1/2 comets, with a local u ∝ -α∇·Q approximation so no Stokes solve), 2D Kuramoto- Sivashinsky boiling terrain, Lugiato-Lefever cavity solitons, and the damped driven sine-Gordon fluxon gas (table sin; the undriven integrable case is verdict-dull and the entry says so). waterfall: Rule 54's glider gas (the cheapest simulation on the map — the entry's real cargo is the XOR-the-background render trick), 1D Gray-Scott pulse-splitting genealogy, and zero-range-process condensation rivers (a rigorous transition at b = 2). The rejects are accounted for by name: retired-ground cousins (SH snaking, NS vorticity, MIPS), duplicates of this morning's batch, uniform-texture and countable-object failures (2D spot mitosis, quantum-walk moiré, Vicsek bands), and stiffness casualties (phase-field crystal, MHD plasmoids). Carried into existing ground: Barkley meander as fhn's retry vehicle, an external dullness verdict on fpu's displacement render, a cyclic-CA fallback on rps, and a coarse-control-grid clause in the prompt budget. Batch-tagged 2026-08-16b — the New chip now shows exactly these seven. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Six commits. The atlas shipped two weeks ago; this is what came back from
actually using it, plus the research that follows from what it taught.
What the field data said
Twenty-five patterns were made against the map, nine earned pins, and the
hit rate went 8% → 67% week over week. Six entries move to
verified,each carrying the pattern that proved it. The prompt's Rendering craft
gains the device budget the failures drew: transcendentals out of the
per-pixel loop, one full-res pass, no per-pixel resampling of the previous
frame, no O(n²), no
Float64Array."Uncharted" was carrying two meanings
Land nobody has walked, and land walked and abandoned. Sixteen entries sat
in the second group while the legend called them the first — and the
evidence against that was already in the field report (Aizawa was sprott's
expedition, the moiré piece was interf's, SmokeFluid was smoke's). So
statuses gain
retired: walked and dropped, usually because it simply wasnot interesting, sometimes because it was too heavy. Those sixteen move
there, drawn faintest of anything on the map — a record, not an invitation.
Failures stay on record
atlas_pinsgains akindcolumn (migration 0022).pinis the exemplartile;
researchfiles an attempt against the entry it came from, drawnnowhere on the map, surfacing behind a fold in the entry panel. A research
note may reference a private pattern — the read path shows those only to
their author and moderators. Existing pins all default to
pin, so thenine currently on the map are unaffected.
Fifteen new entries, in two batches
Entries carry an
addedbatch tag and the chips gain "New · N", derivedfrom the newest tag present — tag an import with its date and it becomes
the new arrivals while the previous batch ages out by itself.
Morning (
2026-08-16), built around the two architectures the field dataproved cheapest: four waterfall (kpz, traffic, oslo, voter) and four
lattice statistical mechanics (rps, potts, forestfire, xy).
Evening (
2026-08-16b), seven survivors of four commissioned surveys —thirty-five-plus candidates filtered on whether the medium births pointable
structures, whether the knob is a real transition, and whether it fits the
device: active nematic defect turbulence, 2D Kuramoto-Sivashinsky, cavity
solitons, driven sine-Gordon, Rule 54's glider gas, pulse-splitting
genealogy, and zero-range condensation rivers.
Two techniques from the surveys also unstick existing entries: an O(1)
sliding-window box sum makes Lenia's wide kernel free, and a 3x3 blur after
each integer shift is what buys ouroboros back the continuity bilinear
sampling was there to provide.
Verified
Typecheck and lint clean. In the browser: New shows exactly the current
batch, Abandoned sixteen, research rows draw no tiles while the public one
lists in the fold and the private one stays hidden anonymously, and the
panel badges a new entry. Owner-side flows (place, promote, demote) are
code-reviewed only — no login session in dev.
Migration 0022 applies on service restart; the Pi restart is handled
separately.
