Table of Contents

Each chapter is a self-contained interactive plate — a device explained, drawn, and made parametric. Status reflects what is built today versus scaffolded for the build queue.

Device Catalog

The catalog, contents, comparison matrix, and status board below are all generated from one device schema. Add an entry to that array and it appears, consistently, in every view — that is the modular stack made literal.

Physics at a Glance

One row per device, drawn from the same records. Different domains, one consistent way of stating principle, governing law, characteristic group, and maturity.

Architecture & Extension

A device is a data record; the front matter renders itself from the collection of records. The deep interactive plates are bespoke instances built on a shared pipeline. Honest division of labour, stated plainly.

The Shared Pipeline — Build Order

Every chapter is built up these rungs, in order, because each coupling needs the result of the one before it. Rungs tagged data are driven by the device record; rungs tagged bespoke are hand-built per device today — the natural targets for further generalization.

What is real, stated plainly. The catalog / contents / comparison / status are live and data-driven — one schema, four views. Chapters 1 and 2 are fully built interactive plates with real correlations, sourced datums, dimensioned drawings, and exports. Planned chapters are scaffolding records, not yet built. Flow and particle visualizations in the plates are illustrative, not meshed solvers; any fusion chapter is geometry-and-field visualization only, not fabrication. Nothing here claims more validation than it has.
Build Status

The same records, sorted by maturity — a working board for the build queue.
