Round 5 · by type, intensity RISES over the lifecycle
type sets the hue · birth (vertex) faint → death (end of range / spiral core) glows

Restrained — a marked film frame (ring · arrow · Nº · sprockets) 43_magenta-handnote.svg · MESON-5113Studied — full grease + réseau + tape splice 44_magenta-studied.svg · MESON-5113
Round 8 · theme & variations on 44 — one craft each
all MESON-5113 · magenta family on selenium · each piece foregrounds a single element of craft
① The curl — δ-ray logarithmic spirals turned up, the nautilus rhyme 45_curls.svg · MESON-5113② The ember — glowing deaths on black, saturated, rising intensity 46_ember-ends.svg · MESON-5113③ The eye — bright striated disk core, the pupil/sun anchor 47_the-eye.svg · MESON-5113④ The worn rim — eroded, stained, mottled disk edge; time made visible 48_worn-rim.svg · MESON-5113⑤ Nucleation — dense bubbles resolving into lines, the discrete made continuous 49_nucleation.svg · MESON-5113⑥ Through fog — depth-of-field, soft deep tracks; the chamber as volume 50_through-fog.svg · MESON-5113⑦ The prism — iridescent oil-on-water disk; the one note of full spectrum 51_prism.svg · MESON-5113⑧ The aura — chromatic halo around the trails; halation, breath 52_aura.svg · MESON-5113⑨ The scanner's mark — full grease-pencil hand: ring, arrow, Nº, angle 53_scanners-mark.svg · MESON-5113⑩ The strip — film as object: sprockets, edge text, réseau, tape splice 54_the-strip.svg · MESON-5113
Round 9 · same craft, different two-colour relationships
all MESON-5113 · the ember-on-black craft frame held constant · only the trace-family hue (traceHue) and disk-accent hue (diskHue) change — a sweepable complementary pair
Magenta traces · burnt-orange disk — the anchor (= the original relationship) 55_anchor-magenta-orange.svg · traceHue 0 · diskHue 0.06Teal traces · rose disk — the inverse: cool trails, warm-pink anomaly 56_teal-rose.svg · traceHue 0.64 · diskHue 0.92★ Gold traces · deep-blue disk — fire vs ice, the warm/cool roles swapped 57_gold-deepblue.svg · traceHue 0.25 · diskHue 0.62Emerald traces · magenta disk — full complementary, spectral/radioactive 58_emerald-magenta.svg · traceHue 0.48 · diskHue 0.90Violet traces · chartreuse disk — ultraviolet, electric, a green sun 59_violet-chartreuse.svg · traceHue 0.88 · diskHue 0.22★ Cyan traces · amber disk — blueprint trails with a warm sun; calm, classic 60_cyan-amber.svg · traceHue 0.69 · diskHue 0.10Ice-blue traces · crimson disk — stark, charged; the disk as a wound 61_iceblue-crimson.svg · traceHue 0.74 · diskHue 0.995★ Copper traces · teal disk — verdigris, oxidized metal, the most analog 62_copper-teal.svg · traceHue 0.21 · diskHue 0.48
Round 10 · lighter grounds — for a living space
MESON-5113 · positive (light) plate · the refined bubble/disk feel on neutral/warm/light paper instead of black
Cream · magenta traces / burnt-orange disk — the warm relic 63_light-cream-magenta-orange.svg★ Neutral · copper traces / teal disk — sophisticated, gallery-calm 64_light-neutral-copper-teal.svg★ Cream · cyan traces / amber disk — cool trails, warm sun; most livable 65_light-cream-cyan-amber.svgSelenium · teal traces / rose disk — soft, airy 66_light-selenium-teal-rose.svgWarm cream · teal traces / amber disk — cosy, toned-photo warmth 67_light-warm-teal-amber.svg
Round 11 · plate position & weight
copper/teal on neutral held constant · only the disk moves & resizes (shockX / shockY / shockSize)
Centered — a symmetric mandala / eye 68_pos-centered.svg · shockY 0High / rising — disk lifts above the bundle (weakest) 69_pos-high-rising.svg · shockY −0.32★ Deep low arc — the big semicircle anchor 70_pos-deep-arc.svg · shockY 0.85 · size 0.42Thirds, lower-left — off-centre composition 71_pos-thirds-left.svg · shockX −0.48★ Small & distant — modest disk, lots of negative space 72_pos-small-distant.svg · size 0.2
Round 12 · more / fewer interactions
copper/teal on neutral · natural disk · only the event counts change (primaries / cosmics / bgEvents …)
★ Fewer — a calm single event, breathing paper; contemplative 73_few-sparse.svg · primaries 9More — a crowded, energetic archive 74_many-dense.svg · primaries 34
Round 13 · living-room finalists — lively archive on four grounds
MESON-5113 · the busier "lively archive" composition · each on one of the four light grounds, saturation held down so the crowded field stays airy
★ Cyan/amber · cream — most legible, classic cool-warm; my pick 76_final-lively-cyan-amber-cream.svgCopper/teal · neutral — the design-object; gold field, calm teal anchor 75_final-lively-copper-teal-neutral.svgTeal/rose · selenium — dreamiest; gentle even when busy 77_final-lively-teal-rose-selenium.svgWarm magenta · cream — cosiest & most energetic 78_final-lively-magenta-cream.svg
