eight rings · the critique

READINGPage 11 of the orange → purple → green → yellow → blue → red → white → void run. Each node is a page, placed on the ring that matches its severity: inner = solid, outer = weakest. Tap a node to read its note.

what works	what's weak
The cipher page is exact arithmetic, not a claimed decryption. Even letters cancel, 13 odd letters survive, the coefficients sum to 26 (the line count), the value is 356, and s carries a coefficient of 3 at the −t+s break. White is computed, not painted: six shells solve to D65, recombining Newton's bands returns the source, a complementary chord crosses D65, and Bradford maps illuminant A back. Sirius B uses Bond 2017 numbers, and the luminosity check reproduces from R and T.	The cipher's links to the 13×1×13 map and to phase 27 are READING only. Snow absorption, paper and brightener spectra, and the cochineal-style shapes are invented. ADA Mie gives λ⁻², not Rayleigh's λ⁻⁴ (the page admits it). The TiO₂ indices and band gaps are textbook values, unverified. The Sirius orbit (~50 years) is from memory. The Stockman–Sharpe cones were not used this run.
Honest surprises caught by checks: a 6504 K blackbody is not D65 (it sits about 0.006 below in y); 530 nm green has no spectral complement.	Carried over and still NOT done: Karkoschka albedo, measured methane, lapis/YInMn reflectance, a unique-yellow study, measured water/ice absorption, and a cochineal pH spectrum.

READINGNext time: load Warren & Brandt ice and Hale & Querry water absorption (fixes snow and the optical window); a full Mie series instead of ADA; ask Dave what the s/t break and the dangling "a+b−" mean before reading more into them; and the Karkoschka tables.

Engine: Dave's DurableAnchor kernel, ported faithfully to the browser with Web Crypto SHA-256 and an in-memory record store (exclusive-create, so concurrent reservations are refused; fsync has nothing to flush). The ledger starts empty on each load. Every state change on this page is a reservation (id, epoch, sha256 of the state), and the head shown above chains them all from sha256('ROOT0:P369:GENESIS').
