IC-01 :: phase 0
One drop strikes the still pond. The water records it twice — once as the wave that travels outward, once as the wave that returns inverted from the shore. Read the surface and you read the disturbance, then read the disturbance, then read it again.
trace :: 7E5B8A :: 432.07 Hz
IC-02 :: φ = 0
The first wave carries the original event — the warm platinum trace, advancing eastward across the field.
IC-02' :: φ = π/3
The second wave reads the first against itself, shifted by a third of a turn — cool mercury, the reference beam — and what they share becomes legible only where they meet.
N1 :: 216 Hz :: fundamental
RRIPPL is a one-page wave. It does not segment its content; it modulates it. Six movements, no breakpoints, one equation.
N2 :: 432 Hz :: 2nd harmonic
The layout is the function y = A·e-kx·sin(ωx + φ). Every glyph, every wash, every navigation event resolves against that single curve.
N3 :: 648 Hz :: 3rd harmonic
Chrome stains where the watercolor lands. The metal is not decoration over the wash; it is the surface the wash is painted on, and it shows through.
N4 :: 864 Hz :: 4th harmonic
The doubled R is the instrument. Read the wordmark across the scroll and you have read the story. The site is the wave, the wave is the wordmark, the wordmark is the site.
N5 :: 1080 Hz :: 5th harmonic
No grid, no card, no breakpoint. The standing wave is the layout system; the cymatic nodes are the anchors; everything else floats in negative space.
