This booklet introduces a subject := a small generative engine that prints curves on lavender paper. We treat each idea like a specimen, label it, and file it. Nothing screams here → everything explains.

The reading column tapers as your eye descends, mirroring the natural attenuation of an f-pattern heat-map. Keep your binder handy v1.0.3.

The method is parametric. We pick equations { Lissajous, polar rose, drifting noise } and let a seeded pseudo-random function decide the rest. Deterministic, yet visually organic.

Each lesson card slides in from off-stage left or right, staggered by 80ms, like pages turned by a thoughtful invisible librarian.

The output is this page :: outlined SVG, oversized type, flat pastel fills. No photography, no raster textures, no 3D renders. The whole surface is drawn, never photographed.

Every figure carries a number-period caption. Numbers wear small superscript circles in Cherry Blossom.

Pen-plotter curves are single-stroke, 1.5px, drawn in Iris Wash at 60% opacity. They animate with stroke-dasharray so the line appears to be drawn live over six seconds.

You'll find them inside the cover glyphs, behind these paragraphs as faint underlays, and beside each icon as a quiet endpaper.

The margin apparatus is honest decoration. Footnotes live to the right of the prose, numbered automatically with CSS counters, and a small hand-drawn arrow can point from a note straight at the word it explains.

Treat marginalia as load-bearing content, not ornament. If a term needs a gloss, it gets a number → superscript → sidenote.

Every concept is paired with a 96×96 outline icon: 1.5px stroke, 3px corner radius, round linecaps, and a diagonal cross-hatch fill inside enclosed shapes.

All icons live in a single inlined <defs> registry and are referenced via <use> — drawn once, reused everywhere.

The specimen drawer below documents the page's own visual vocabulary — a printer's catalogue of every symbol, presented as a museum display case.

Scroll the drawer horizontally. Each cell wears a Latin-ish technical name, matted with a thin Mint Pistachio rule.
