The rubric
Composition (craft-notes law)
- CN1 No boxes: structure via hairlines, numbered marks, whitespace
- CN2 Scale does hierarchy: fearless display sizes, tiny mono metadata
- CN3 Exactly one full-bleed ink-band moment
- CN4 Constraint as meaning: marking capped (choose three)
- CN5 Placeholders as geometry/monogram plates, never hatched boxes
- CN6 Programme family as hairline table, not card grid
Copy and evidence law
- CP1 Locked copy imported only; composed, never reworded
- CP2 Section labels in Chetan-plain language; zero consultancy jargon
- CP3 REAL sketchnotes used wherever mandated
Motion law
- MO1 Every motion explains; zero decorative entrances/hovers
- MO2 One signature interaction, intentional activation only (no dwell)
- MO3 Complete static + reduced-motion states
Accessibility law
- AX1 Targets >= 44px everywhere
- AX2 h1 hero; interactive elements announced as buttons
- AX3 Focus managed on every open/close; back/close never strands
- AX4 390px composed (not stacked); nothing hidden without a cue
Completeness
- CO1 Full homepage: nav, whole locked narrative, programmes+detail, Chetan, explore+form, footer
- CO2 Palette tokens + switcher; real typefaces from the approved menu
- TB1 Thinks-back: the visitor’s own action moves their thought
