the core never changes. each project sets these dials and states them.
| dial | mosaic | cubes | anlat | todarch cube | agents (mosaic, working name) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| where dimensions come from | fixed by code (SUB_APPS → tabs → routes) |
known by convention | discovered by the person | selim's lenses (he makes them) plus the faces every to-do has: states, rhythms, later hands | the columns of notion's claude usage table, written by the sessions themselves (the usage-report skill) |
| what a leaf is | an action or screen | a fact | a story | a to-do (todarch's item) | a report: one session's usage |
| position means something | no (seeded random fill, for now) | yes | yes (colour = value) | yes (colour = value) | yes (colour = value; the most used first) |
| can a piece repeat | only in "fill it" mode | yes | yes, across columns | yes, in several circles of one lens | yes, across the parts its usage went to |
| depth | 2–3 levels, fixed | unlimited | capped at values | cube › faces › to-dos › one to-do › its faces; circles nest | agents › usage › faces › a value › its reports › one report |
| who names things | the developer | the library, then the user | the person; AI only with consent | selim; sessions add to-dos through the inbox | the sessions (they measure and name themselves); selim reads |
| tone | neutral tool | curious, learning | gentle, invitation only, no numbers | offer, never command: no red, no overdue, no streaks; wishes in the first person | a quiet meter: shares of the usage, never a budget, a warning or red |
| look | real 3D puzzle cube, twist | small turnable cube over a regrouping list | isometric picture of the data, tiles below | the cube in its circle, faces first, tiles in complete squares below; cube on the left from 900 px | the todarch cube's: the cube in its circle, faces first, complete squares; claude's clay on the tiles |
| theme | dark | light (dark supported) | always light | mosaic's (dark) | mosaic's (dark) |
| words (mapped in 11-words.md) | app, tab | a rubik's cube's: cube, piece, face, colour (code still says kind, value) | row, column, value | to-do (code: item), face, lens, circle, state, rhythm | report, part, role, surface, scheduled task, area, project, model |
new project
copy a column, fill it, and show it to selim before building.
