// SURVEY PURPOSE //

Progress is easier to understand when it remains visible.

This record preserves the useful distance between first proof and present direction. It shows what changed, what was superseded, and which ideas survived contact with the game.

Selection rule: Little to zero markup
Display rule: Original aspect ratio
Context rule: State labeled honestly

// THEN / NOW //
