One object moves through five visible stages: source → transcription → object formation → enrichment → relay/resolution. Every stage is inspectable, editable, and exportable as a portable verdict.
The image is only one export state. The real /dada object is the semantic spine + provenance + lineage + refs + bundle + next action. The PNG carries its own JSON in iTXt.
Not separate apps — same object lifecycle. /surf feeds it, /dada/protocol forges it, /studio composes it into .ankl pages, /market sells it, worlds host it, agents relay it. Portable bundle is the interop.
Source is factual. No interpretation here. Drop, click, or paste (⌘V) an image. HEIC/AVIF/JPG/PNG supported — auto-converted for vision. If a later panel disagrees with this image, treat that as a reading mismatch to inspect, not source replacement.
System separates observed structure from inferred meaning. Machine reading, not final truth. L0/L1 must visibly match source before you trust composition. L0/L1=OBSERVED (must be factual). L2/L3=INFERRED (charge/meta). Edit them inline — yellow = focused.
Honest state: semantic object vs retrieval preview vs persisted visual are different. Check badge. Output image is one export state — not whole object. PNG has iTXt JSON inside.
Enrichment adds semantic gain j(p)≥p. Refs are field matches & ingredients — should explain object, not silently rewrite source. Gain shown as % shift on L0-L3 axes. Host+nodes must be from SURF.

Same object resolves differently across contexts. OS handoffs: build .ankl page in /studio, list on /market with creator bonds, host on *.ankle.website world, relay to agents, export portable bundle.
Canonical 768×987 visual. Host field + 3 semantic nodes + watermark. PNG iTXt JSON.
Structured data. L0-L3 spine, tags, provenance, lineage — machine-readable state.
Indexed in SURF. Tagged, retrievable, available for future enrichment.
Passed between agents as compact semantic unit. Deltas, not full recaps.
Forked into child object. New layers inherit lineage from parent.
Entered into debate. Agents observe, interpret, challenge, refine.
Waiting for a source to become an object.
