**Note** from Bead: Wedtech Beads 2026 07 08 · [canonical source](https://redfish.acequia.io/guerin/.agents/9d343253-c279-47ac-a066-cc31ce505782/2026-07-08/notes/01-talk-outline.md) · session 2026-07-08 · discussion: Talk: Wedtech Beads 2026 07 08
Working outline derived from Stephen's framing in the [chat log](https://redfish.acequia.io/guerin/.agents/9d343253-c279-47ac-a066-cc31ce505782/2026-07-08/chats/2026-07-08-wedtech-talk-prep.md). Exploratory; Stephen decides order and cut.
## Arc 1. **The many facets of a bead.** One URI-addressable resource that duck-types as file, folder, and agent. Docks, root files, chat logs as provenance. Detail: [02-facets-of-a-bead.md](https://redfish.acequia.io/guerin/.agents/9d343253-c279-47ac-a066-cc31ce505782/2026-07-08/notes/02-facets-of-a-bead.md) 2. **Lineage.** Hubler's self-assembling wires (structure grows where flux flows) and Hesse's Glass Bead Game (a chat is a path of light across the board; beads are the moves worth naming). Detail: [03-hubler-wires-and-glass-bead-game.md](https://redfish.acequia.io/guerin/.agents/9d343253-c279-47ac-a066-cc31ce505782/2026-07-08/notes/03-hubler-wires-and-glass-bead-game.md) 3. **Beads are "acequia components".** Components for the acequia and for browsers, more "web" than "web components": composed by URI and HTTP verbs rather than by a DOM registry. Detail: [04-acequia-components-more-web-than-web-components.md](https://redfish.acequia.io/guerin/.agents/9d343253-c279-47ac-a066-cc31ce505782/2026-07-08/notes/04-acequia-components-more-web-than-web-components.md) 4. **Cloud-native GIS should be more web-native GIS.** Three apps written this week, each a bead move. Detail: [05-web-native-gis-three-demos.md](https://redfish.acequia.io/guerin/.agents/9d343253-c279-47ac-a066-cc31ce505782/2026-07-08/notes/05-web-native-gis-three-demos.md) 1. Leila's NYC hydrants: browser singleton processes GeoJSON into typed arrays and PUTs them. 2. Graydon's Old Fire progression: linked beads propagate the projective-texture fix everywhere. 3. Anysurface simulation: beads that already know taos-engine and carry the Sen dual-photography paper. 5. **Close: the PUT is the move.** The browser as a first-class parciante node that writes, with decentralized cache syncing as the road ahead.
## Decided (2026-07-08, see [06-decisions-2026-07-08.md](https://redfish.acequia.io/guerin/.agents/9d343253-c279-47ac-a066-cc31ce505782/2026-07-08/notes/06-decisions-2026-07-08.md)) - **Arc: interleaved.** One theory beat per demo: PUT with hydrants, conduction with Old Fire, memory with anysurface. - **Demos: all live in iframes with pop-out**, on one talk page following the [phase-transitions.html](https://waldo.acequia.io/gsd-vis-2487/guerin/week-4-discussion/phase-transitions.html) format. - **Vocabulary: minimal.** "Acequia components" as brand phrase, "bead" used freely; no NM water metaphor. - **Closing section: "beads are my AI interface to the team."**
## Added topics (fold into the arc) - **Sketches in Redfish team UX/UI.** Near the beginning: a gsd-style pen-and-ink sketch of the facets of a bead, minimal labeling (inbox/outbox with outbox proposed, uploads, mjs, handler.js, chat links, links as primitives, README pointing back from deployments, git repo view). Note: [09-sketches-in-redfish-uxui.md](https://redfish.acequia.io/guerin/.agents/9d343253-c279-47ac-a066-cc31ce505782/2026-07-08/notes/09-sketches-in-redfish-uxui.md); sketch: [sketch-bead-facets.html](https://redfish.acequia.io/guerin/.agents/9d343253-c279-47ac-a066-cc31ce505782/2026-07-08/artifacts/sketch-bead-facets.html) (two compositions + questions dock). - **Beads as next-generation pitches and shaping.** The pitches meeting is painful without context and prep; a pitch bead carries its shaping, provenance, live evidence, and docked questions, so prep is a GET. Candidate home: inside the closing "AI interface to the team" section. Note: [10-beads-as-pitches-and-shaping.md](https://redfish.acequia.io/guerin/.agents/9d343253-c279-47ac-a066-cc31ce505782/2026-07-08/notes/10-beads-as-pitches-and-shaping.md). - Origins and scopes: credentials outside of sites, global `.ai/`, redfish.acequia.io's served `.ai/` and `skills/`, beads placed across domains/origins, `.acequia-access.json` origin-based splitting. Notes: [08-origins-and-scopes.md](https://redfish.acequia.io/guerin/.agents/9d343253-c279-47ac-a066-cc31ce505782/2026-07-08/notes/08-origins-and-scopes.md); slide: [slide-origins-and-scopes.html](https://redfish.acequia.io/guerin/.agents/9d343253-c279-47ac-a066-cc31ce505782/2026-07-08/artifacts/slide-origins-and-scopes.html). - The Gemini "acequia components" chat as provenance of thread 3, processed in [07-gemini-chat-processed.md](https://redfish.acequia.io/guerin/.agents/9d343253-c279-47ac-a066-cc31ce505782/2026-07-08/notes/07-gemini-chat-processed.md): the GET-only Gemini vs PUT-capable Claude asymmetry, sampling as the glue, desire lines, the GPU-boundary isomorphism, the Smalltalk/OpenDoc/Jini lineage and the anti-EJB stance.
## Open questions for Stephen - [ ] The vocab question's Other selection: what else gets named or stripped? - [ ] Where does the origins-and-scopes slide land in the interleaved arc? (Candidate: right after the hydrants PUT beat, since the PUT lands inside an origin scope.) - [ ] Need a working waldo/gsd credential (or a saved copy) to study the phase-transitions.html format before building the talk page.
