## Motivation (why a GUID) Stephen's 2026-07-09 riff (verbatim in this bead's chat back-capture): the taos-engine glass bead game starts with the WedTech talk bead as its first playable move; URIs and GUIDs stay visible as players navigate; the Old Fire thread plays as a chain (talk audio → screen-capture mp4 → live interactive STAC playback); the simtable simulation comes onto the game board as a low-res hologram; cameras and projectors carry URIs/GUIDs; a player's own Gemini key lets them prompt the board and even mint beads; Gemini can develop distilled prompts for local models (Ollama) or call bead `.mjs` skills directly; and facets are prescribed contracts, transactions of asymmetries. A GUID gives this game a stable address so its notes, sketches, and eventually its runnable board accrete in one place.
## Mechanism (what this bead does) - Holds the game's design notes and sketches (exploratory voice: describe, pose open questions; decisions are the team's). - Curates the **first playable move**: the wedtech talk chain, expressed as URIs the board can GET while the player watches the path of light happen. - Workshops the board's three hard surfaces: 1. **Rendering** — beads as scene objects with visible URI/GUID chrome; media facets (audio, mp4, live iframe/app); the sim-as-hologram (GPU patch field + colorizer, per the raster-drape design question's Direction C). 2. **Cognition** — BYOK Gemini prompting the board; the cognition ladder down through Ollama-class local models to bead `.mjs` skills; player-minted beads landing in the player's space and OFFERED into the board's dock. 3. **Authority** — which facet a player sees, and whether admission rides groups or URI-scoped tokens (the rich point; worked in `9e1d87f5`, referenced here). - Physicalizes the board: the phone-simtable topologies (phone-casts / third-device parciante / onboard Android projector) as namespace choreography.
## Folder Layout - `about.md` (this), `README.md`, `bead-bind-startup.md`, `keywords.json`, `names.json` — root self. - `2026-07-09/chats/` — back-capture of the founding riff (verbatim) + this session's turns. - `2026-07-09/notes/` — `00-founding-vision.md` · `01-first-playable-move-wedtech-chain.md` · `02-phone-simtable-topologies.md` · `03-facets-as-contracts.md`. - `2026-07-09/artifacts/` — rendered sketches (phone-simtable topologies). - `uploads/` — inbound dock.
## Session Log - **2026-07-09** — bead opened from Stephen's riff (captured verbatim, incl. the mid-turn Gemini/BYOK and facets-as-contracts additions). Founding notes 00–03 drafted; phone-simtable topology sketches rendered to `artifacts/`; groups-vs-URIs facet framing offered into `9e1d87f5`'s dock (offer-only). Queue run in Stephen's chosen order; he monitors and may resort.
## Modus Operandi (how to interact) Read `bead-bind-startup.md` first. Exploratory / informational for the Redfish–Simtable dev team; asserts no decision or direction. The chat back-capture is ground truth for the founding intent; notes are the workshop.
## Capabilities Design + curation only so far. No runnable board yet; the runnable candidates it points at are the wedtech deck (already live), the incident-viewer deep-links, and the agentscript-webgpu work.
## Lifecycle Open. bead-sync after dirtying turns. The natural next hatch is a runnable board prototype bead (or repo-in-bead) once the design notes stabilize.
## Limitations - Nothing here is a decision; the groups-vs-URIs question lives with Stephen and Josh in `9e1d87f5`.
