## Motivation (why a GUID) Stephen is preparing a WedTech talk on the bead approach. The talk itself is a Glass Bead Game move: it strings together this week's working beads (hydrants, Old Fire progression, anysurface simulation) into one narrative about what a bead is and why "cloud-native GIS" should become "web-native GIS". This bead holds the talk preparation: the outline, the concept notes behind each section, and eventually the talk artifacts (slides, demo script, sketches).
## Mechanism (what this bead does) - Collects and refines the talk's four threads: 1. The many facets of a bead (file, folder, agent; docks; root files). 2. Lineage: Hubler's self-assembling wires and Hesse's Glass Bead Game. 3. Beads as "acequia components" for the acequia and browsers, more "web" than "web components". 4. Web-native GIS demonstrated by three apps written this week. - Links out to the demo beads rather than copying their content (bind, don't duplicate); see [names.json](https://redfish.acequia.io/guerin/.agents/9d343253-c279-47ac-a066-cc31ce505782/names.json). - Accumulates talk artifacts (slide deck, demo run-order, speaker notes) in `artifacts/` as they are produced.

## Session Log - **2026-07-08**: Bead opened. Captured Stephen's talk framing verbatim in [chats/2026-07-08-wedtech-talk-prep.md](https://redfish.acequia.io/guerin/.agents/9d343253-c279-47ac-a066-cc31ce505782/2026-07-08/chats/2026-07-08-wedtech-talk-prep.md). Drafted outline and one concept note per talk thread in [notes/](https://redfish.acequia.io/guerin/.agents/9d343253-c279-47ac-a066-cc31ce505782/2026-07-08/notes/). Stephen decided arc/demo-mode/vocab/closing via checkbox forms ([notes/06](https://redfish.acequia.io/guerin/.agents/9d343253-c279-47ac-a066-cc31ce505782/2026-07-08/notes/06-decisions-2026-07-08.md)). Processed the Gemini "acequia components" chat ([notes/07](https://redfish.acequia.io/guerin/.agents/9d343253-c279-47ac-a066-cc31ce505782/2026-07-08/notes/07-gemini-chat-processed.md), provenance in artifacts) and drafted the origins-and-scopes note and slide ([notes/08](https://redfish.acequia.io/guerin/.agents/9d343253-c279-47ac-a066-cc31ce505782/2026-07-08/notes/08-origins-and-scopes.md), [slide](https://redfish.acequia.io/guerin/.agents/9d343253-c279-47ac-a066-cc31ce505782/2026-07-08/artifacts/slide-origins-and-scopes.html)). Added the sketches-in-UXUI thread with a two-composition pen-ink bead-facets sketch ([notes/09](https://redfish.acequia.io/guerin/.agents/9d343253-c279-47ac-a066-cc31ce505782/2026-07-08/notes/09-sketches-in-redfish-uxui.md), [sketch](https://redfish.acequia.io/guerin/.agents/9d343253-c279-47ac-a066-cc31ce505782/2026-07-08/artifacts/sketch-bead-facets.html)) and the beads-as-pitches/shaping thread ([notes/10](https://redfish.acequia.io/guerin/.agents/9d343253-c279-47ac-a066-cc31ce505782/2026-07-08/notes/10-beads-as-pitches-and-shaping.md)). Sketch iterated to v0.2 (Hubler bead with polarity; outbox semantics defined). Stephen's new waldo tokenId unblocked gsd-vis-2487: public-recursive sidecar placed, phase-transitions format captured ([notes/11](https://redfish.acequia.io/guerin/.agents/9d343253-c279-47ac-a066-cc31ce505782/2026-07-08/notes/11-talk-page-format.md)). Built the talk deck [artifacts/wedtech-beads-talk.html](https://redfish.acequia.io/guerin/.agents/9d343253-c279-47ac-a066-cc31ce505782/2026-07-08/artifacts/wedtech-beads-talk.html) (16 slides, three apps live in iframes; `artifacts/` made public-recursive with README while notes/chats stay tokened), inserted the Hubler Self-Assembling Wires video at slide 3 with player controls, and closed with a QR for this bead's URI ([notes/12](https://redfish.acequia.io/guerin/.agents/9d343253-c279-47ac-a066-cc31ce505782/2026-07-08/notes/12-deck-build.md)).
## Modus Operandi (how to interact) - Read [bead-bind-startup.md](https://redfish.acequia.io/guerin/.agents/9d343253-c279-47ac-a066-cc31ce505782/bead-bind-startup.md) first when resuming. - Deposit material for the talk (slides, corrections, demo links) into [uploads/](https://redfish.acequia.io/guerin/.agents/9d343253-c279-47ac-a066-cc31ce505782/uploads/) with the hey-you-its-me envelope. - The chat log is ground truth; when notes and chat disagree, the chat log wins.
## Capabilities - Talk-prep scribe: outline, concept notes, demo run-order, speaker notes. - Cross-bead binder: resolves the three demo beads and the lineage beads by short name via [names.json](https://redfish.acequia.io/guerin/.agents/9d343253-c279-47ac-a066-cc31ce505782/names.json).
## Lifecycle - **Open** while the talk is being prepared and delivered. - After the talk: capture what was actually presented (deck, any recording pointer, audience questions) into `artifacts/`, then the bead can quiesce as the durable record of the talk.
## Limitations - This bead describes the demo apps; it does not own them. Changes to the hydrants app, the progression viewer, or the anysurface simulator belong in their own beads. - Exploratory: notes pose the talk's framing and open questions; Stephen decides the final narrative and cut.
